Purity Greater than 95.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE.
Description HIV-1 protease is an active homodimer having a molecular mass of 21.6kDa (each monomer of 99 amino acids is 10.8kDa).
Protein Background HIV-1 protease is very significant in the life cycle of the HIV virus. It is expressed in the infected cells as a part of Gag-Pol polyprotein from which it is auto-catalytycaly released after formation of an immature viral particle. The enzyme subsequently cleaves the other parts of viral polyproteins resulting in the maturation of the virus. In HIV-infected patients the enzyme is subjected to intensive mutagenesis and mutants resistant to applied medicines are produced as a result of the selection pressure.
Expression host Escherichia Coli.
Reagent Appearance Sterile filtered colorless clear solution.
Stability Store at 4°C if entire vial will be used within 2-4 weeks. Store, frozen at -20°C for longer periods of time.Please avoid freeze thaw cycles.
