Abstract excerpt
The human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) virion contains two copies of genomic RNA that are noncovalently attached along a region at their 5' ends, in which two contact sites have been observed by electron microscopy. One of these sites is believed to be the stem-loop 1 (SL1) sequence which serves as the dimerization initiation site (DIS), and the other site, closer to the 5' end of the viral RNA, may...
