Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 reverse transcriptase (HIV-1 RT) is a DNA polymerase that converts viral RNA genomes into proviral DNAs. How HIV-1 RT regulates nucleotide selectivity is a central issue for genetics and the nucleoside analog RT inhibitor (NRTI) resistance of HIV-1. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Here we show that an ATP molecule at physiological concentrations acts as an...
