Many viruses encode proteinases that are essential for infectivity, and are consequently attractive chemotherapeutic targets. The biochemistry and structure of the human immunodeficiency virus proteinase have been characterized extensively, and potent peptide-mimetic inhibitors have been developed. Techniques and strategies used to improve the efficiency of these compounds are likely to be applicable to other viral proteinases.
许多病毒编码对感染性至关重要的蛋白酶,因此是有吸引力的化疗靶点。人类免疫缺陷病毒蛋白酶的生物化学和结构已得到广泛表征,并且已开发出有效的肽模拟抑制剂。用于提高这些化合物效率的技术和策略可能适用于其他病毒蛋白酶。
