Conformational trajectory of the HIV-1 fusion peptide during CD4-induced envelope opening

Abstract The hydrophobic fusion peptide (FP), a critical component of the HIV-1 entry machinery, is located at the N terminus of the envelope (Env) gp41 subunit. The receptor-binding gp120 subunit of Env forms a heterodimer with gp41. The gp120/gp41 heterodimer assembles into a homotrimer, in which...
