Abstract excerpt
Homo-dimerization of the capsid protein CA of human immunodeficiency virus through its C-terminal domain constitutes an early crucial step in the virion assembly pathway and a potential target for antiviral inhibitors. We have truncated to alanine the 20 amino acid side chains per monomer that participate in intersubunit contacts at the CA dimer interface and analyzed their individual energetic contribution to...
