Abstract excerpt
Truncated tRNA-DNA mimics were examined in an in vitro assay for second-strand transfer during human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) reverse transcription. Strand transfer in this system requires the progressive degradation of the RNA within the 18-mer tRNA-DNA (plus-strand strong stop DNA) intermediate to products approximately 8 nucleotides in length. The ability of the truncated substrates to substitute...
