abstract：:Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 resistance to nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors such as 3'-azido-2', 3'-dideoxythymidine (AZT) can arise through mutations in the coding region of reverse transcriptase (RT) that enhance the enzyme's ability to remove the drug after it has been incorporated. This excision ...
