Structure/function studies of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 reverse transcriptase. Alanine scanning mutagenesis of an alpha-helix in the thumb subdomain.
1 Nov 1994
Abstract excerpt
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 reverse transcriptase has subunits of 66 and 51 kDa (p66 and p51, respectively). Structural studies indicate that each subunit consists of common subdomains. The polymerase domain of p66 forms a nucleic acid binding cleft, and, by analogy with a right hand, the subdomains are referred to as fingers, palm, and thumb (Kohlstaedt, L. A., Wang, J., Friedman, J. M., Rice, P. A., and...
