Abstract excerpt
To determine whether adefovir is active against lamivudine-resistant hepatitis B virus (HBV), the inhibition constants of adefovir diphosphate and lamivudine triphosphate for wild-type and mutant human HBV DNA polymerases, which contain amino acid substitutions associated with lamivudine resistance, were compared. Recombinant wild-type and mutant human HBV DNA polymerases were expressed and substantially purified...
