Abstract excerpt
Genes encoding a number of mutants of HIV-1 proteinase were sub-cloned and expressed in E. coli. The proteinases containing mutations of single residues (e.g., G48V, V82F, I84V and L90M) were purified and their catalytic efficiencies relative to that of wild-type proteinase were examined using a polyprotein (recombinant HIV-1 gag) substrate and several series of synthetic peptides based on the -Hydrophobic *...
