Biochemical Analysis of HIV-1 Integrase Variants Resistant to Strand Transfer Inhibitors
25 Jun 2008
Abstract excerpt
In this study, eight different HIV-1 integrase proteins containing mutations observed in strand transfer inhibitor-resistant viruses were expressed, purified, and used for detailed enzymatic analyses. All the variants examined were impaired for strand transfer activity compared with the wild type enzyme, with relative catalytic efficiencies (k(p)/K(m)) ranging from 0.6 to 50% of wild type. The origin of the...
