21. The Drosophila micropia retrotransposon encodes a testis-specific antisense RNA complementary to reverse transcriptase . 22. Both Sustiva and Ziagen thwart HIV by blocking an essential enzyme called reverse transcriptase . 23. Protease is needed later in the virus's reproduction cycle than the reverse transcriptase enzyme. 24. In August, the EU cleared an AIDS treatment called Epivir, a reverse transcriptase inhibitor. 25. They usually are taken in combination with other drugs called nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors. 26. NNRTIs block reverse transcriptase by binding directly to the enzyme. 27. Among these are medicines known as non-nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors. 28. Non-nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors ( NNRTIs ) Viramune ( nevirapine )-- Boehringer Ingelheim GmbH 29. NNRTIs are therefore classified as non-competitive inhibitors of reverse transcriptase . 30. The drug 1592 belongs to a class known as nucleoside analogue reverse transcriptase inhibitors.
