    In 2008, the sample was tested by researchers, identifying partial HIV viral sequences. [8] The specimen, named DRC60 contained a strain of HIV-1 around 88% similar to LEO70, but was found to be most closely related to HIV-1 (M) subgroup A isolates. These two specimens are significant not only because they are the oldest known specimens of HIV ...

    HIV-1 protease is one of the best known aspartic proteases, and an attractive target for the treatment of AIDS. [9] After the discovery of HIV protease it only took 10 years for its first inhibitor to reach the market. [10] The first reports of highly selective antagonists against the HIV protease were revealed in 1987.
