Improvement of the activity of the anti-HIV-1 integrase aptamer T30175 by introducing a modified thymidine into the loops

Abstract In this paper, we report our investigations on analogues of the anti-human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) integrase (IN) aptamer T30175 in which the individual thymidines forming the loops were replaced by 5-hydroxymethyl-2′-deoxyuridine residues (H).
