Abstract excerpt
To study the initiation of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 reverse transcription, we have used the viral nucleocapsid protein (NC7) to anneal tRNA3Lys primer onto viral genomic RNA and have then eliminated NC7 from this primer-template complex by digestion with proteinase K and phenol-chlorof...
