Abstract excerpt
HIV-1 protease is essential for the production of mature, infectious virions and is a major target in antiretroviral therapy. We successfully purified a HIV-1 subtype C variant, L38↑N↑L- 4, containing an insertion of asparagine and leucine at position 38 without the four background mutations - K20R, E35D, R57K, V82I using a modified purification protocol. Isothermal titration calorimetry indicated that 50% of the...
