Abstract
-
Nucleotide and amino acid substitution pattern in vif gene of the Korean clade of HIV-1 isolated from Koreans were analyzed using consensus sequences. At nucleotide level, transition/transversion substitution ratio was 1.88, and nonsynonymous/synonymous substitution ratio was 2.67, suggesting a divergent
<br>evolution in the Korean clade. At amino acid level, there were 17 substitutions and G→E substitution at position 37 may be responsible for change in predicted secondary structure.
