Continuation of question 1 (c) An enzyme expressed by HIV, which has become a target for its treatment, is a peptidase with two aspartate groups within its catalytic region (Figure Q1 (C)). This enzyme has been shown to hydrolyse polyproteins into the shorter mature protein components of an infectious HIV virion. Ph ° R OH Asp-25 Substrate Water O-H Figure Q1(c) Catalytic Region Asp-25 (5 marks)
