Why do HIV-1 and HIV-2 use different pathways to develop AZT resistance? by Paul L Boyer, Stefan G Sarafianos, Patrick K Clark, Eddy Arnold, Stephen H Hughes

“…Although both RTs have similar levels of polymerase activity, HIV-1 RT more readily incorporates, and is more susceptible to, inhibition by AZTTP than is HIV-2 RT. Differences in the region around the polymerase active site could explain why HIV-2 RT incorporates AZTTP less efficiently than HIV-1 RT. …”
