A DNA molecule is initially composed of a string of
nucleoside monophosphates (NMPs) held together by covalent bonds between the 3'--OH of one subunit, and the innermost (alpha) phosphate group on the 5' end of another NMP (the other two phosphate groups are released in the joining reaction).
The transporter molecule, called a concentrative
nucleoside transporter, works by moving
nucleosides, the building blocks of DNA and RNA, from the outside to the inside of cells.

BOSTON -- Recent use of the
nucleoside analogues abacavir and didanosine is associated with a significantly increased risk of myocardial infarction in HIV-infected individuals, whereas treatment with the thymidine analogues appears to convey no such risk, according to findings presented at the 15th Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections.
The company also has a comprehensive HCV discovery effort, comprised of a next-generation
nucleoside polymerase inhibitor program, including IDX102 and IDX184, which are currently being evaluated in advanced preclinical testing, and HCV non-nucleoside polymerase inhibitor and HCV protease inhibitor programs.

Ed4T, which was developed by Yale University, Kagoshima University and Showa University, is a
nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor with enhanced anti-HIV-1 activity.
These medications used in combination with other antiretrovirals, namely the
