Abstract excerpt
We previously proposed that a balance between nucleotide excision and template RNA degradation plays an important role in nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) resistance. To explore the predictions of this concept, we analyzed the role of patient-derived C-terminal domains of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (RT) in NRTI resistance. We found that when the polymerase domain contained previously described...
