Abstract excerpt
HIV-1 can become resistant to nucleoside analogs by developing an enhanced ability to excise the analogs after they have been incorporated. Excision requires that the analog be located at the 3' terminus of the primer. We have describe nucleoside analogs that do not block DNA synthesis at the point of incorporation, but only after additional dNTPs have been added to the DNA. These nucleoside analogs are called...
