Abstract

The phosphorothioate oligonucleotide T2G4T2 was identified as an inhibitor of HIV infection in vitro by combinatorial screening of a library of phosphorothioate oligonucleotides that contained all possible octanucleotide sequences. The oligonucleotide forms a parallel-stranded tetrameric guanosine-quartet structure. Tetramer formation and the phosphorothioate backbone are essential for antiviral activity. The tetramer binds to the human immunodeficiency virus envelope protein gp120 at the V3 loop and inhibits both cell-to-cell and virus-to-cell infection.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
