Animation: Mechanisms of Action of Non-Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors (NNRTIs)
Activated HIV reverse transcriptase is a key component to the production of viral DNA. This animation describes how NNRTI drugs work by binding the active catalytic site of the viral reverse transcriptase enzyme, effectively blocking its ability to convert viral RNA into viral DNA. This action results in halting the HIV infection cycle.
