Two‐metal ion mechanism of RNA cleavage by HIV RNase H and mechanism‐based design of selective HIV RNase H inhibitors

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) RNase H activity is essential for the synthesis of viral DNA by HIV reverse transcriptase (HIV‐RT). RNA cleavage by RNase H requires the presence of divalent metal ions, but the role of metal ions in the mechanism of RNA cleavage has not been resolved. We measured...
