Abstract: Mutant
V82S is the least active (2-20% of wild-type
protease), mutants
N88D,
R8Q, and
L90M exhibit activities ranging from 20 to 40% and
G48V from 50 to 80% of the wild-type activity.
Abstract: Mutants of HIV-1
protease that are commonly selected on exposure to different drugs,
V82S,
G48V,
N88D and
L90M, showed reduced catalytic activity compared to the wild-type
protease on cleavage site peptides,
CA-p2, p6pol-
PR and
