	HIV-1 protease has a crucial importance in drug design as inhbition of it makes the virus noninfective. It prevents formation of mature protein of the HIV virus. The most encouraging inhibtors are the hydroxyethylamine substrate-based inhibitors which led to the discovery of the first protease inhibitor, saquinavir. But mutations coding for alteration of the active site conformation facilitates resistance to protease inhibitors. Structure comprehension of HIV protease through structural analysis is crucial to design inhibitors to slow down worldwide AIDS spreading epidemic.
