Abstract excerpt
In this work, molecular dynamics (MD) simulation of the interaction of three mutants, G3V, G5V and G10V, of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) gp41 16-residue fusion peptide (FP) with an explicit palmitoyloleoylphosphatidyl-ethanolamine (POPE) lipid bilayer was performed. The goals of this work are to study the correlation of the fusogenic activity of the FPs with the mode of their interaction with the...
