The inhibition of HIV-1’s replicative machinery remains a cornerstone in the battle against AIDS. Central to this approach are inhibitors targeting reverse transcriptase (RT) and integrase. Reverse ...

HIV-1 reverse transcriptase inhibitors have long been central to antiretroviral therapy, effectively impeding the enzyme responsible for converting viral RNA into DNA – a pivotal step in HIV ...

Viral reverse transcriptase (RT) plays a critical role in replication (e.g., retroviruses, that reverse transcribe RNA templates into complementary DNA) and genome mutations (e.g., ...

At the 12th International HIV Drug Resistance Workshop, held June 10-14, 2003, in Los Cabos, Mexico, investigators from around the world provided the latest results from studies of resistance topics ...

Nucleoside reverse transcriptase translocation inhibitors (NRTTIs) are a novel class of antiretroviral agents that inhibit HIV replication by targeting the viral reverse transcriptase enzyme and ...

Reverse transcriptase-PCR (RT-PCR)--a method for assessing gene expression, detecting low copy number mRNA transcripts, and generating complementary DNAs (cDNAs) for cloning--converts an RNA template ...

Certain Bordetella bacteria exist in two phases – Bvg+ is characterized by the expression of virulence genes and respiratory tract colonization, while the Bvg- phase is adapted for ex vivo growth when ...
