Expert

Verified

Protease inhibitors are some of antiretroviral drugs which are used to treat HIV infection. Protease is enzyme essential for the assembling of HIV after the synthesis of its proteins within the host cell. The protease inhibitor binds to the activation center of the enzyme blocking the formation of the enzyme-substrate complex and the enzyme activity thus impairing the viral replication.
