Abstract: Although the
protease activity of
G48V,
L90M, and
G48V/
L90M are only about 10, 7, and 3% of that of the wild-type HIV-1
protease in the absence of inhibitor, the resistance tendencies of the three mutants are clearly manifest by relatively less activity loss as inhibitor concentration becomes higher.
Abstract: In order to study the basis of resistance of human immunodeficiency virus, type 1 (HIV-1), to HIV-1
protease inhibitor saquinavir, the catalytic and inhibition properties of the wild-type HIV-1
protease and three saquinavir resistant mutants,
G48V,
L90M, and
G48V/
L90M
