Abstract excerpt
The human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1) nucleocapsid (NC) protein is believed to be unique among the nucleic acid (NA) binding proteins encoded by this retrovirus in being highly multifunctional and relatively nonsequence-specific. Underlying many of NC's putative functions, including for example its chaperon-like activity for various steps of HIV-1 reverse transcription, is NC's ability to partially melt...
