When you say viral protease, you mean that this PI drug only inhibits that protease and not the host proteases?

[@icnp]

no, in general all the proteases would be inhibited.... (it's not a drug ;) )

[@tthesun113]

yes, the inhibitor is specific to the viral protease and will not inhibit host proteases. and yes, there are PIs that are drugs (FDA-approved and used in clinic to treat patients)

This makes the topic much less alienating and really shows whats going on.
