Targeting the Human DEAD-Box Polypeptide 3 (DDX3) RNA Helicase as a Novel Strategy to Inhibit Viral Replication
1 Jul 2011
Abstract excerpt
Compounds currently used for the treatment of HIV-1 Infections are targeted to viral proteins. However, the high intrinsic mutation and replication rates of HIV-1 often lead to the emergence of drug resistant strains and consequent therapeutic failure. On this basis, cellular cofactors represent attractive new targets for HIV-1 chemotherapy, since targeting a cellular factor that is required for viral replication...
