Abstract excerpt
Changes of the translocational status of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) reverse transcriptase (RT) can affect susceptibility to antiretroviral drugs. The pyrophosphate analogue phosphonoformic acid (PFA) binds specifically to and traps the pretranslocated complex of HIV-1 RT, while nucleotide-competing RT inhibitors trap the posttranslocated conformation. Here, we attempted to assess the potential...
