Abstract excerpt
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) protease optimally catalyzes in the pH range of 4-6 in contrast to nearly all of the other eukaryotic aspartic proteases, which catalyze best in the pH range of 2-4. A possible structural reason for the higher optimal pH of HIV-1 protease is the absence...
