The y271 and i274 amino acids in reverse transcriptase of human immunodeficiency virus-1 are critical to protein stability.

Reverse transcriptase (RT) of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 plays a key role in initiating viral replication and is an important target for developing anti-HIV drugs. Our previous study showed that two mutations (Y271A and I274A) in the turn RT (Gln(269)-Arg(277)) abrogated viral replication,...
