Figure 5. A stereoview of the superposition (based on the C a atoms of the b6-b10-b9 sheet) of the HIV-1 RT/DNA/Fab complex structure (in gray) (Jacobo-Molina et al., 1993) on the HIV-1 RT/9-Cl TIBO complex structure (in cyan) in the regions near the NNIBP and the polymerase active site showing the disposition of the b12-b13-b14 sheet containing the primer grip. Bound 9-Cl TIBO in the HIV-1 RT/9-Cl TIBO complex is shown in gold and the two 3'-terminal nucleotides 17 and 18 of the primer strand in the HIV-1 RT/DNA/Fab complex are shown with a yellow ball-and-stick model. The broken line represents interactions between the primer grip and the primer terminal phosphate in the HIV-1 RT/DNA/Fab complex and the arrow indicates the movement of the primer grip that accompanies NNRTI binding.
