Design and Properties of NCCG-gp41, a Chimeric gp41 Molecule with Nanomolar HIV Fusion Inhibitory Activity
1 Aug 2001
Abstract excerpt
The design and characterization of a chimeric protein, termed N(CCG)-gp41, derived from the ectodomain of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), type I gp41 is described. N(CCG)-gp41 features an exposed trimeric coiled-coil comprising the N-terminal helices of the gp41 ectodomain. The trimeric coiled-coil is stabilized both by fusion to a minimal thermostable ectodomain of gp41 and by engineered intersubunit...
