Abstract excerpt
The envelope glycoproteins (Envs) from human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) mediate viral entry. The binding of the HIV-1 gp120 glycoprotein to CD4 triggers conformational changes in gp120 that allow high-affinity binding to its coreceptors. In contrast to all other Envs from the same phylogenetic group, M, which possess a serine (S) at position 375, those from CRF01_AE strains possess a histidine (H) at...
