Question

Drugs that are HIV protease inhibitors Multiple Choice prevent HIV protease from degrading host cell proteins О block the translation of HIV proteases bind to HIV proteases prevent HIV proteases from breaking apart capsid proteins bind to HIV proteases and prevent the proteases from breaking apart capsid proteins

Answer 1

Option C is correct because

Protease inhibitors (PIs) are a class of antiviral drugs that are widely used to treat HIV/AIDS and hepatitis C. Protease inhibitors prevent viral replication by selectively binding to viral proteases (e.g. HIV-1 protease) and blocking proteolytic cleavage of protein precursors that are necessary for the production of infectious viral particles.
