Abstract excerpt
The human immunodeficiency virus type 1 gp41 possesses an unusually long and conserved cytoplasmic region. Mutations in the LLP12 domain in this region have been shown to significantly affect viral competence. It is likely that the impaired infectivity of this mutated virus involves certain biochemical aspects of the peptide LLP12. To test our assumptions, some important biochemical properties and functions of...
