Abstract excerpt
The human immunodeficiency virus transmembrane glycoprotein gp41 has at its amino terminus a strongly hydrophobic stretch of 28 amino acids flanked by a highly conserved series of polar amino acids. To investigate the role in syncytium formation of the hydrophobic amino terminus of gp41 and the p...
