Nevirapine is a reversible non-competitive inhibitor of the AIDS virus reversed transcriptase. It is in the NNRTI (non-nucleoside reversed transcriptase inhibitors) class of medications. a.) What advantage over nucleoside based reversed transcriptase inhibitors like 3'-azidothymidine was anticipated for the non-nucleoside reversed transcriptase inhibitors? CH3 4 HINS 5 Nevirapine b.) What method was used to discover the initial lead compound possessing low potency reversed transcriptase inhibition activity? c.) Does nevirapine compete with the 2'-deoxynucleoside 5'-triphosphates for occupancy of the enzyme catalytic site?
