1) Saquinavir (Invirase) is known to be one of the first FDA approved protease inhibitor for HIV treatment. This usually occurs by HIV protease binding an active site <scene name='User:David_Canner/Sandbox_HIV/Saquinavir_tunnel/1'> tunnel tightly </scene>, which will prevent polyproteins from also binding. Saquniavir's chemical structure has the ability to <scene name='User:David_Canner/Sandbox_HIV/Hiv_morph2/9'> mimic the tetrahedral </scene> intermediate of the hydrolytic reaction to interact <scene name='User:David_Canner/Sandbox_HIV/Saquinavir_cat/3'> strongly with the catalytic Asp residues</scene> <scene name='User:David_Canner/Sandbox_HIV/Saquinavir_cat/3'> </scene>. | 1) Saquinavir (Invirase) is known to be one of the first FDA approved protease inhibitor for HIV treatment.
