Abstract excerpt
Using the molecular "cloud" of the HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (RT) as starting point, the peptide backbone of the polymerase subunit was visualized by molecular modelling. Then, the two subregions 98-106 and 179-190 of the allosteric area were "isolated". From the latter subregion, the Tyr181 to Tyr188 segment containing two amino acids (Asp185, Asp186) of the catalytic aspartyl triad and two amino acids...
