Abstract excerpt
Our previous study suggested that the p2(gag) peptide, AEAMSQVTNTATIM, inhibits human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) protease (PR) activity in vitro. In this study, Ala substitutions (Met4Ala and Thr8Ala) and deletion of amino acid Asn9 within the nona p2(gag) peptide (AEAMSQVTN) were found to decrease the inhibitory effect on HIV-1 PR activity. Furthermore, treatment of PMA-activated latently infected T...
