Abstract excerpt
The human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) capsid protein (CA) plays a crucial role in both assembly and maturation of the virion as well as viral infectivity. Previous in vivo experiments generated two N-terminal domain charge change mutants (E45A and E128A/R132A) that showed an increase in stability of the viral core. This increase in core stability resulted in decreased infectivity, suggesting the need...
