HIV, like other retroviruses, contains a virus capsid, which consists of the major capsid protein, the nucleocapsid protein, the diploid single-stranded RNA genome, and the viral enzymes protease, reverse transcriptase, and integrase. HIV isolates show extensive genetic variability, resulting from the relatively low fidelity of reverse...
