Abstract excerpt
Capsid protein (CA) is the major component of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) core. Three major phosphorylation sites have been identified at positions S(109), S(149) and S(178) in the amino-acid sequence of CA. Here, we investigated the possible consequences of phosphorylation at these sites on the CA hexamer organization and plasticity using in silico approaches. The biological relevance of...
