HIV-1 is more transmissible than HIV-2 and is more likely to lead to AIDS in a patient. “HIV-1 protease (PR) is a virus-encoded proteolytic enzyme that is initially systemized as part of the GagPol polyprotein” (Huang et. al, 2013). HIV-1 protease belongs to Clan AA, family A2 of the aspartic proteases. Aspartic proteases are the smallest group of proteases found in humans (Huang et. al, 2013). | HIV-1 is more transmissible than HIV-2 and is more likely to lead to AIDS in a patient. “HIV-1 protease (PR) is a virus-encoded proteolytic enzyme that is initially systemized as part of the GagPol polyprotein” (Huang et. al, 2013).
