Antiviral activity of α-helical stapled peptides designed from the HIV-1 capsid dimerization domain

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The C-terminal domain (CTD) of HIV-1 capsid (CA), like full-length CA, forms dimers in solution and CTD dimerization is a major driving force in Gag assembly and maturation. Mutations of the residues at the CTD dimer interface impair...
