Inhibition of the Reverse Transcriptase of HIV-1 by 3′-Azidothymidine Triphosphate and 3′-Azido-oligothymidylate

Abstract
The inhibition of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase by 3′-azidothymidine triphosphate (N3-d'ITP) and 3′-azidooligothymidylate (N3-(dT)16) was investigated by kinetic analysis. The inhibition patterns suggest for both compounds a dead-end inhibition mode.
