The reverse transcriptase (RT) of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) has both polymerase and ribonuclease H (RNase H) activity, and is a key enzyme in the HIV life cycle as it converts the viral RNA genome into double-stranded DNA. A series of studies built around the theme of chemically modified nucleic acids are described in order to: (1) better understand the biochemical processes of reverse transcription in HIV-1, (2) synthesize antiretroviral agents directed to novel targets on HIV-1 (RT), and (3) develop screening methods incorporating fluorescent nucleobase analogues to uncover new drug candidates. We demonstrated how chemically modified nucleic acid hairpins inhibited the RNase H activity of HIV-1 RT. For example, substituting ...
