Cytotoxicity
Binding Target HIV-1 protease
Mechanism The HIV-1 protease is a virally encoded protease that serves to cleave the gag and gag-pol polyprotein precursor into mature, functional proteins. This specific proteolysis occurs late in the viral life cycle and is essential for the maturation of the infectious virus. The peptide inhibits HIV-1 protease and thus acts antiviral activity.
