Focus on Chirality of HIV-1 Non-Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors [PDF]
Chiral HIV-1 non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) are of great interest since one enantiomer is often more potent than the corresponding counterpart against the HIV-1 wild type (WT) and the HIV-1 drug resistant mutant strains.

Effect of reverse transcriptase inhibitors on LINE-1 and Ty1 reverse transcriptase activities and on LINE-1 retrotransposition [PDF]
Background LINE-1s (L1, Long Interspersed Element-1) are the most abundant autonomous non-LTR retrotransposons in the human genome and replicate by reverse transcription of an RNA intermediate.

Protein expression from unintegrated HIV-1 DNA introduces bias in primary in vitro post-integration latency models [PDF]
To understand the persistence of latently HIV-1 infected cells in virally suppressed infected patients, a number of in vitro models of HIV latency have been developed.

Anti-HIV-1 activity of benzothiadiazine dioxide [PDF]
Antiviral assays carried out on the potent benzothiadiazine dioxide (BTD) human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) inhibitors have led us to find marginal but selective anti-HIV-1 activity.

A Review of Electroanalytical Techniques for Determination of Anti-HIV Drugs
Until now after the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) was discovered as the then tentative aetiological agent of acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), exactly 25 anti-HIV compounds have been formally approved for clinical use in the treatment of ...

The Molecular Docking of Specific Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitory Ligands onto the Molecular Model of HIV-1 Reverse Transcriptase [PDF]
HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (RT) is a crucial enzyme in HIV replication and AIDS progression. It consists of p66 and p51 subunits and converts viral RNA into double-stranded DNA for integration into the host cell's genome.
