Abstract excerpt
HIV-1 reverse transcriptase can catalyze the addition of either azidothymidine monophosphate (AZTMP) or thymidine monophosphate (dTMP) to a primer strand opposite template adenosine bases. The ratio of incorporation of AZTMP to dTMP as catalyzed by HIV-1 reverse transcriptase has been determined to be 0.4 using an RNA-DNA duplex substrate prepared from oligonucleotides with sequences taken from the HIV-1 genome...
