What is the dispute?
I inserted the phrase in vitro into the following sentence, found in the Mode of Action section of the Zidovudine article:


 * "However, in vitro AZT has a 100-fold greater affinity for the HIV reverse transcriptase than for the human DNA polymerase alpha, accounting for its selective antiviral activity.[16][18]"

This edit has engendered a 6,937-word discussion on Zidovudine's Talk page, under the section In Vitro. At present the phrase has been removed from the sentence.

What would you like to change about this?
Reinsert the phrase in vitro into the disputed sentence.

How do you think we can help?
Simply read the In Vitro discussion on Zidovudine's Talk page and come to your own conclusions. I'm genuinely curious how neutral 3rd parties would view this issue.
