Abstract excerpt
HIV-1 integrase enzyme is responsible for the integration of viral DNA into the host genomic DNA. Integrase strand transfer inhibitors (INSTIs) are highly potent antiretroviral agents that inhibit this process, and are internationally approved for the treatment of both naïve and treated HIV-1 patients. However, their long-term efficacy is threatened by development of drug resistance strains resulting in...
