Fidelity of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase copying a hypervariable region of the HIV-1 env gene.
Virology - 1 Mar 1994

Abstract excerpt
The unusually high mutation frequency exhibited by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a major impediment to developing effective vaccines against the virus and to designing analogs that inhibit viral replication. To investigate the molecular basis of HIV hypermutability, we established cell-free assays to measure the fidelity of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (RT) in copying either DNA or both RNA and DNA...
