Structural mechanism of trimeric HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein activation.

Structural mechanism of trimeric HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein activation.

HIV-1 infection begins with the binding of trimeric viral envelope glycoproteins (Env) to CD4 and a co-receptor on target T-cells. Understanding how these ligands influence the structure of Env is of fundamental interest for HIV vaccine development. Using cryo-electron microscopy, we describe the co...
