A molecular clasp in the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) type 1 TM protein determines the anti-HIV activity of gp41 derivatives: implication for viral fusion.

Abstract excerpt

We have previously reported that synthetic peptides representing the leucine zipper domain (DP107) and a second putative helical domain (DP178) of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) gp41 exhibit potent anti-HIV activity. In this study we have used soluble recombinant forms of gp41 to provide evidence that the DP178 peptide and the DP178 region of gp41 associate with a distal site on the gp41...
