Abstract excerpt
Ala-114, together with Asp-113, Tyr-115 and Gln-151, form the pocket that accommodates the 3'-OH of the incoming dNTP in the HIV-1 RT (reverse transcriptase). Four mutant RTs having serine, glycine, threonine or valine instead of Ala-114 were obtained by site-directed mutagenesis. While mutants A...
