New Human Immunodeficiency Virus, Type 1 Reverse Transcriptase (HIV-1 RT) Mutants with Increased Fidelity of DNA Synthesis
1 Sept 1999
Abstract excerpt
Infidelity of DNA synthesis by human immunodeficiency virus, type 1 reverse transcriptase (HIV-1 RT) is a presumptive determinant of HIV-1 hypervariability and is incompletely understood at the mechanistic and structural levels. Amino acid substitution at only three residues, including Asp-76 (Kim, B., Hathaway, T. R., and Loeb, L. A. (1996) Biochemistry 37, 5831-5839), is known to increase fidelity. We report...
