Abstract excerpt
Single-base deletions at nucleotide runs or -1 frameshifting by human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) reverse transcriptase (RT) result from template slippage during polymerization. In crystal structures of HIV-1 RT complexed with DNA-DNA template-primer, the palm subdomain in the template cleft contacts the template backbone near the proposed site of slippage via the Glu(89) side chain. We investigated the...
