Abstract excerpt
A crucial step in the replication of HIV-1 is the conversion of its single-stranded RNA to double-stranded DNA, which is catalyzed by the virally encoded reverse transcriptase (RT). The latter is therefore a key target for the development of anti-HIV drugs. Currently approved anti-RT drugs fall into two main classes: (i). nucleoside analog inhibitors which are incorporated into the primer strand in their...
