Development of a stochastic model for the efficacy of NRTIs using known mechanisms of action.

Abstract excerpt

We analyze the mechanisms by which nucleoside-analogue reverse transcriptase inhibitors, the most common class of drugs used in the treatment of HIV-1, exert their antiviral effects. We then seek to identify ways in which those known mechanisms can be employed to generate mathematical models for drug efficacy in terms of measurable physical values. We demonstrate that the probability a NRTI instead of a natural...
