Answers

Answered by missverma

AZT belongs to a group of drugs called nucleoside analogues. AZT interferes with an enzyme called reverse transcriptase (RT), which is used by HIV-infected cells to make new viruses. Since AZT inhibits, or reduces the activity of this enzyme, this drug causes HIV-infected cells to produce fewer viruses.
