Abstract excerpt
Cyanovirin-N (CVN) is a highly potent anti-HIV carbohydrate-binding agent that establishes its microbicide activity through interaction with mannose-rich glycoprotein gp120 on the virion surface. The m4-CVN and P51G-m4-CVN mutants represent simple models for studying the high-affinity binding site, B(M). A recently determined 1.35 A high-resolution structure of P51G-m4-CVN provided details on the di-mannose...
