Abstract excerpt
The TAR element of HIV and the viral protein Tat form a molecular switch regulating transcriptional efficiency in HIV. We show that fluorescence correlation spectroscopy at the single molecule level is a powerful method to study the association between a Tat-derived peptide and TAR fragments. We also investigated the inhibition of the peptide-RNA complex by different ligands. Utilizing cross correlation...
