Abstract excerpt
The mechanism of conformationally dynamic proteins remains understudied because they are difficult to analyze structurally. For HIV-1 protease, the mechanism of cleavage by mature protease is well understood in large part because it forms a stable structure that is amenable to x-ray crystallography. However, self-cleavage or autoproteolysis of protease from the viral polyprotein involves transiently populated...
