Full Description
HIV-1 reverse transcriptase is an RNA-dependent DNA polymerase of HIV-1 (AIDS virus), subtype B origin (1). It also has RNaseH activity and is an enzyme indispensable to the reproduction of AIDS virus. The product is uniquely over-expressed as a recombinant protein in E. coli by a patented method and highly purified (2). It is composed of two subunits (molecular weight of 66 kD and 51 kD), same as the enzyme purified from AIDS virus particles (Fig 1).
