Abstract: A second mutation,
E478Q, was introduced into the
Y188L variant, in the event that the residual nuclease activity observed is due to the
RT, and not a contaminant.
Abstract: A variant of HIV-
RT where
Tyr 188 is replaced by Leu, has emerged from experiments where HIV was challenged to grow in the presence of drugs targeted against the
RT, such as L-697639, TIBO and nevirapine.
