Which of the following is NOT a mechanism of action for DNA polymerase inhibitors?
Which of the following is NOT a mechanism of action for DNA polymerase inhibitors?
- They are incorporated into DNA during normal replication.
- They directly bind and inhibit the viral DNA polymerase enzyme. (correct)
- The inhibitors are modified so that they do not permit added nucleotides to be added to that chain as it replicates.
- The lack of 3' hydroxyl group prevents the incorporation of the next nucleotide, causing chain termination.
