Many thanks to Mary Ann Liebert publications (AIDS Patient Care and STDs. November 1, 2008, 22(11): 921-923. doi:10.1089/apc.2008.9938) for making the text of this HIV/AIDS and STD Update available online, "Pinpointing the Achilles Heel of HIV" (abzymes). I'm sharing this with you because this update is so well written that I'd do you an injustice in trying to rewrite it. Because there's a fair amount of interest in this topic of HIV abzymes, I'm posting this so that you can do further reading for yourself.
