Abstract excerpt
Nucleoside analogues play a key role in the fight against HIV-1. Unfortunately, under therapeutic pressure, HIV-1 inevitably develops resistance to these inhibitors. This resistance correlates with specific pol gene mutations giving rise to specific substitutions in reverse transcriptase that are responsible for the loss of efficacy of the corresponding analogue. This work is an overview of the molecular...
