HIV gp41 C-terminal Heptad Repeat Contains Multifunctional Domains
4 Feb 2007
Abstract excerpt
T20 (Fuzeon), a novel anti-human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) drug, is a peptide derived from HIV-1 gp41 C-terminal heptad repeat (CHR). Its mechanism of action has not yet been defined. We applied Pepscan strategy to determine the relationship between functional domains and mechanisms of action of five 36-mer overlapping peptides with a shift of five amino acids (aa): CHR-1 (aa 623-658), C36 (aa 628-663), CHR-3...
