Abstract excerpt
The reverse transcriptase (RT) of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) undergoes rapid mutagenesis due to selective pressure by RT inhibitors which renders the mutated RT variants resistant to these inhibitors. Resistance to nucleoside analogs during drug therapy results from point mutations that lead to specific variations in the RT sequences. It was recently shown that several well-defined drug-resistant variants...
