Abstract excerpt
The replication process of human immunodeficiency virus requires a number of nucleic acid annealing steps facilitated by the hybridization and helix-destabilizing activities of human immunodeficiency virus nucleocapsid (NC) protein. NC contains two CCHC zinc finger motifs numbered 1 and 2 from the N terminus. The amino acids surrounding the CCHC residues differ between the two zinc fingers. Assays were preformed...
