Abstract excerpt
The HIV-1 p51/p66 reverse transcriptase (RT) heterodimer interface comprises, in part, intermolecular interaction of the loop region between beta-strands 7 and 8 (beta7-beta8 loop) in the p51 fingers subdomain with the p66 palm subdomain. In this study, for the first time in the context of infectious HIV-1 particles, we analyzed the contribution of amino acid residues (S134, I135, N136, N137, T139 and P140) in...
