What would the HIV viral sequence of AUCUU be converted to and by what enzyme?

The HIV virus is an RNA virus, so you know the sequence AUCUU is the RNA sequence. (You also know it is RNA because it contains uracil.) HIV is a retrovirus, so its RNA will be transcribed to DNA by the enzyme reverse transcriptase and then inserted into the host's genome. The RNA sequence of AUCUU would be transcribed to TAGTT.


How does AZT work to treat HIV/AIDS?

AZT, also known as zidovudine, is a type of antiretroviral medication that works by blocking an enzyme called reverse transcriptase, which is needed by the HIV virus to replicate.
