Abstract excerpt
Non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase (RT) inhibitors (NNRTIs) are a key component of effective combination antiretroviral therapies for HIV/AIDS. NNRTIs despite their chemical diversity, bind to a common allosteric site of HIV-1 RT, the primary target for anti-AIDS chemotherapy, and noncompetitively inhibit DNA polymerization. NNRTIs currently in clinical use have a low genetic barrier to resistance and...
