Which drug/s interfere with the action of an HIV enzyme needed for final assembly and maturation of the virus?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Protease inhibitors interfere with the action of an HIV enzyme needed for final assembly and maturation of the virus by blocking the protease enzyme, which is responsible for cutting the larger precursor proteins into the smaller, functional proteins needed for the virus to become infectious. Reverse transcriptase inhibitors block the reverse transcriptase enzyme, which is responsible for making a DNA copy of the viral RNA genome. Fusion inhibitors block the fusion of the viral and host cell membranes. Integrase inhibitors block the integrase enzyme, which is responsible for integrating the viral DNA copy into the host cell's DNA. While all of these choices are used to treat HIV, only protease inhibitors interfere with the final assembly and maturation of the virus.
