Reverse transcriptase (RT) is responsible for replicating the HIV-1 genome and is a validated therapeutic target for the treatment of HIV infections. During each cycle of the RT-catalyzed DNA polymerization process, inorganic pyrophosphate is released as the by-product of nucleotide incorporation. Small molecules were identified that act as bioisosteres of pyrophosphate and can selectively freeze the
逆转录酶(RT)负责复制HIV-1基因组,并且是经验证的治疗HIV感染的治疗靶标。在RT催化的DNA聚合过程的每个循环中,无机焦磷酸盐作为核苷酸掺入的副产物释放。鉴定出的小分子充当焦磷酸盐的生物等排体,并且可以在DNA或RNA模板引物酶复合物的预易位阶段选择性冻结HIV-1 RT的催化循环。
