Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The interaction of the envelope glycoprotein of HIV-1 (gp120/gp41) with coreceptor molecules has important implications for specific cellular targeting and pathogenesis. Experimental and theoretical evidences have shown a role for gp41 in coreceptor tropism, although there is no consensus about the positions involved. Here we analyze the association of physicochemical properties of gp41 amino acid...
