protease action is modulated by the redox equilibrium of Cys67 and Cys95 regulatory
residues. In the present study, the inhibitory effect of NO, released by the NO-donor (±)-(E)-4-
ethyl-2-[(E)-hydroxyimino]-5-nitro-3-hexenamide (NOR-3), on the aspartyl HIV-1 protease
action is reported. HIV-1 protease inactivation via NO-mediated nitrosylation of Cys
regulatory residue (s) may represent a possible mechanism for inhibition of HIV-1 …
