Abstract
Host RNA/viral protein interaction as a target of intervention in the replication of viruses, e.g., the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) are described. The target being upstream of the final replication product, and being crucial to the viral replication, is less likely to be genetically altered to drug resistance. Peptides that intervene in this RNA/viral protein interaction are also described, as well as compositions containing the same and methods of use thereof.
