A biologist develops a new drug that seems to dramatically slow the onset of symptoms resulting from HIV infection. Close monitoring of HIV-infected cells reveals that the viral proteins are in the form of long polyproteins. What kind of drug did the biologist develop? A. It is a glycosyl transferase inhibitor. B. It is an integrase inhibitor C. It is a protease inhibitor. D. It is a CD4 inhibitor. please explain why which answer is correct and which is wrong and why
