Abstract excerpt
Site-specific proteolysis is an important regulatory mechanism in many basic cellular processes as well as playing critical roles in the life cycle of viruses and other pathogenic organisms. For the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) the encoded protease is required for the replication of the virus and has been the target of novel antiviral therapeutics. However, the emergence of inhibitor-resistant viral strains...
