Abstract excerpt
Cyanovirin-N can exist in solution in monomeric and domain-swapped dimeric forms, with HIV-antiviral activity being reported for both. Here we present results for CV-N variants that form stable solution dimers: the obligate dimer [DeltaQ50]CV-N and the preferential dimer [S52P]CV-N. These variants exhibit comparable DeltaG values (10.6 +/- 0.5 and 9.4 +/- 0.5 kcal.mol(-1), respectively), similar to that of...
