 AB    A kinetic model is presented for the comparison of potential proteolytic
       processing activities of wild-type and mutant human immunodeficiency
       virus proteases in the presence and absence of protease inhibitors. The
       protease processing of gag substrate in the immature virions is assessed
       by the kinetic parameters, kcat, Km and Ki. The relationship of the
       estimated potential processing activities to the viability of the HIV
       mutants and their tendencies to resist inhibitors also are discussed. A
       fully developed model has the potential to stimulate the results of
       inhibitor resistance either in vivo or in cell culture.
