Abstract: An
E138K mutation in the non-nucleoside
RT inhibitors (
NNRTIs) binding pocket of HIV-1
RT confers resistance to DCK and its chromone derivative, DCP8.
Abstract: However, the DCK-escape virus carrying the
E138K mutation remains resistant to DCP8.
Abstract: Our results indicate that a single amino acid mutation,
E138K in HIV-1
RT, is sufficient to confer DCK resistance.
