Abstract excerpt
gp120 is key to the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 viral cell entry. Knowledge of the detailed conformational states of gp120 is crucial to intervention, yet the unbound form is still resistant to structural characterization probably because of its flexibility. Toward this goal, we performed molecular dynamics simulations on the wild type gp120 core domain extracted from its ternary crystal structure and on...
