HIV-1 protease by David Canner The X-ray structure of HIV-1 protease reveals that it is composed of two symmetrically related subunits which form a tunnel where they meet. This is critical because it contains the active site of the protease, consisting on two Asp-Thr-Gly conserved sequences, making it a member of the aspartyl protease family. The two catalytic Asp's either interact with the incoming water or protonate the carbonyl to make the carbon more electrophilic for the incoming water. >>> Visit this page >>>
