Abstract excerpt
The targeting of HIV-1 integrase (IN) for the design of novel antiviral compounds has until now proceeded slowly, mainly due to the lack of three-dimensional structures reporting detail interactions between IN and its DNA substrates as well as the complete enzyme with its three domains. Recently, we have proposed that Tn5 transposase (Tnp) can be used as a useful surrogate model for IN in attempt to address the...
