Mechanistic Studies to Understand the Progressive Development of Resistance in Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 Reverse Transcriptase to Abacavir
1 Oct 2002
Abstract excerpt
Abacavir has been shown to select for multiple resistant mutations in the human immunodeficiency type 1 (HIV-1) pol gene. In an attempt to understand the molecular mechanism of resistance in response to abacavir, and nucleoside analogs in general, a set of reverse transcriptase mutants were studied to evaluate their kinetics of nucleotide incorporation and removal. It was found that, similar to the...
