Phospholipid interactions of synthetic peptides representing the N-terminus of HIV gp41
28 Aug 1990
Abstract excerpt
Peptides representing the N-terminal 23 residues of the surface protein gp41 of LAV1a and LAVmal strains of the human immunodeficiency virus were synthesized and their interactions with phospholipid vesicles studied. The peptides are surface-active and penetrate lipid monolayers composed of negatively charged but not neutral lipids. Similarly, the peptides induce lipid mixing and solute (6-carboxyfluorescein)...
