After reading your most enjoyable post a couple weeks ago, I decided to try my hand at making some ACV myself on a smaller scale.

On the other hand, transfection of cells with a portion of the herpes virus genome containing the HSV thymidine kinase gene transforms normally resistant cells to ACV-sensitive cells (130).
-
Since the cellular thymidine kinase cannot use acyclovir as a substrate, very little ACV-TP is formed in uninfected cells (108), (119).
-
The pathways for the formation of ACV-TP are shown in (Fig. 7).
-
However, the DNA polymerase of Epstein-Barr virus is exquisitely sensitive to the small amount of ACV-TP formed in EBV-infected cells (131).
-
Resistance to ACV may also result form mutations in the viral DNA polymerase (127,128,129).
-
The quantitative aspects of these differences in the amounts of ACV-TP formation and DNA polymerase inhibition (Ki value) by ACV-TP in virus-infected cells and uninfected cells are illustrated in Fig. 8 (123).
-
In addition, ACV-TP serves not only to inhibit, but also to inactivate, the viral DNA polymerase following the formation of the enzyme-template-acyclovir monophosphate complex (125).
