Kinetic analysis of interaction of human immunodeficiency virus reverse transcriptase with alkaloids
1994
: The interactions of HIV-I reverse transcriptase with some alkaloids were studied. Among nine compounds tested three--berberine, palmatine and sanguiritrine--inhibited RT. The dependence of the inhibition on the type of template-primer was also demonstrated. The kinetic analysis as well as circular dichroism experiments suggest the complex mechanism of RT inhibition by alkaloids. This mechanism includes both enzyme-alkaloid and alkaloid-template interactions; the latter effect also results in RT inhibition.
