Abstract excerpt
Recombinant wild-type protease of human immunodeficiency virus, type 1 (HIV-1) expressed in E. coli was purified by pepstatin A affinity chromatography. An 88-fold purification was achieved giving a protease preparation with a specific enzymatic activity of approximately 3700 pmol/min/micrograms. Two proteolytically inactive HIV-1 mutant proteases (Arg-87----Lys; Asn-88----Glu) were found to bind to pepstatin A...
