Abstract excerpt
HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (RT) generally terminates plus strand DNA synthesis at the centre of the viral genome. The central termination sequence (CTS) contains two termination sites which are located at the 3' end of AnTm motifs. These motifs generate a global curvature of the DNA helix which correlates with termination of DNA synthesis. Here, we have characterized HIV-1 RT termination sites on different DNA...
