Chapter 14, Problem 3P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

To propose:

The strong inhibitory property of the peptide pepstatin

Introduction:

Aspartic proteases include the protease enzymes which uses two very active aspartic acid complexes for the cleavage reaction of the peptide substrates. Pepstatin is a naturally present in the cell which has hexa-peptide structure with amino acid Statine and thus generally inhibits aspartyl proteases.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

To explain:

Whether the pepstatin exhibit inhibits the HIV-1 protease or not.

Introduction:

Aspartic proteases include the protease enzymes which uses two very active aspartic acid complexes for the cleavage reaction of the peptide substrates.
