Abstract excerpt
Alanine scanning mutagenesis was undertaken to evaluate the structural significance of Met230-His235 of the 66 kDa subunit of p66/p51 human immunodeficiency virus reverse transcriptase (HIV-1 RT). Together with Glu224-Trp229, these residues provide the framework of the p66 "primer grip", whose proposed role is maintaining the primer terminus in an orientation appropriate for nucleophilic attack on an incoming...
