Abstract excerpt
Resistance to nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) seems to develop following three different pathways. Discriminatory mutations favor the binding of physiologic nucleosides over that of drugs. The newly so-called nucleoside-associated mutations (NAMs) enhance the removal of chain terminators (pyrophosphorolysis) from the cDNA in formation. Finally, some inserts at the p6 region within the gag gene...
