- Azidothymidine is a Thymidine analog used to inhibit viral reverse transcriptase. Explain the application of this nucleoside analog as an antiviral drug and how it affects reverse transcription and therefore block the ability of the virus to hijack the host cellEmtricitabine (2',3'-dideoxy-5-fluoro-3'-thiacytidine, abbreviated as FTC) is a nucleoside analog that is used to treat HIV. It works by reversibly binding to HIV reverse transcriptase (HIV RT) and by doing so, inhibits the virus from replicating itself. In an experiment, FTC and purified HIV RT are mixed at low concentrations and allowed to reach equilibrium. The concentrations measured are [FTC] = 10 nM, [HIV RT] = 37.5 nM, and [HIV RT-FTC] = 2.5 µM, for the equilibrium FTC + HIV RT= HIV RT-FTC. What is the Kd in nM?Explain what is TFIID ?
