Abstract

A CEM cell cDNA T7 phage display library was prepared and used to screen for activating enzymes of phosphoramidate prodrugs of AZT monophosphate. Although, inefficient compared to ribonucleotide based phosphoramidates, hHint 1 was identified as the likely intracellular pronucleotide activating enzyme.
