Abstract excerpt
Replication of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) and other retroviruses involves reverse transcription of the viral RNA genome into a double-stranded DNA. This reaction is primed by the cellular tRNA(3Lys) molecule, which binds to a complementary sequence in the viral genome, referred to as the primer-binding site (PBS). In order to study the specificity of primer usage, we constructed a set of...
