Figure 59–5. Mechanism of action of an HIV protease inhibitor. Shown here is a phenylalanine-proline target peptide sequence (in

blue) for the protease enzyme (in golden brown) with chemical structures of the native amino acids (in lower box) to emphasize

homology of their structures to that of saquinavir (at top).
