Abstract excerpt
The N-terminal domain (NTD) of HIV-1 integrase adopts two inter-converting forms (D- and E-) due to their specific coordination of a Zn(2+) ion by an HHCC motif. Mutational studies on NTD have suggested the importance of conformational transition in regulating the functions of tetramers and dimers of HIV-1 integrase. This study explores the stability and dynamics of native NTD forms and the conformational...
