What are Protease Inhibitors?
These antiviral drugs act by inhibiting the HIV virus' protease enzyme -- preventing viral replication. These drugs block the protease enzyme from breaking apart long strands of viral proteins to make the smaller, active HIV proteins. When the larger HIV proteins are unable to be broken apart, they cannot re-assemble themselves into new and functional HIV particles.
