Beschreibung

HIV protease is a large protein that cleaves the polyprotein of HIV. This enzyme is essential for viral replication and so any drug that inhibits its function will inhibit HIV infectivity. The HIV protease substrate III, which contains histidine at position 3, has been used to study the effects of HIV proteases on different tissue types. It has been shown that this substrate can be detected in the cytoplasm and vacuole of cells infected with HIV, indicating that it may be involved in the transport process. The addition of an acidic amino acid (p-nitro-phenylalanine) to the substrate increases its antiviral activity by increasing its stability against proteolytic enzymes and allowing it to penetrate into cells more easily.
