The genome of HIV codes for synthesis of a polyprotein (UniProt [https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/P04585 P04585 (POL_HV1H2)]) that requires cutting by HIV protease in order to be separated into individual mature proteins required for virus maturation<ref name="wide-open">PMID:16338417</ref>. Drugs that inhibit HIV protease prevent the virus from replicating, and are [[Molecular Playground/HIV Protease Inhibitor|crucial components of anti-HIV therapies]]. | The genome of HIV codes for synthesis of a polyprotein (UniProt [https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/P04585 P04585 (POL_HV1H2)]) that requires cutting by HIV protease in order to be separated into individual mature proteins required for virus maturation<ref name="wide-open">PMID:16338417</ref>.
