Abstract excerpt
Cys(38) and Cys(280) of p66/p51 human immunodeficiency virus type 1 reverse transcriptase (HIV-1 RT) can be converted to Ser without affecting enzyme function. We have exploited this feature to construct and purify "monocysteine" RT derivatives for site-specific modification with the photoactivable cross-linking agent, p-azidophenacyl bromide. Acylation of a unique cysteine residue introduced at the extreme C...
