Abstract excerpt
In order to define the role of Gln151 in the polymerase function of HIV-1 RT, we carried out site-directed mutagenesis of this residue by substituting it with a conserved (Q151N) and a nonconserved residue (Q151A). Q151N exhibited properties analogous to those of the wild-type enzyme, while Q151A...
