Abstract excerpt
The nucleocapsid (NC) protein from HIV-1 contains two zinc-fingers, both of which are necessary for virus replication. This is the first in-depth study that presents the effects of nucleocapsid zinc-finger substitutions on the kinetics of reverse transcription and integration. Over a 72-h time-course of infection, the quantities of viral DNA (vDNA) observed with viruses containing either the nucleocapsid His23Cys...
