Deskripsi

Mendonça et al. determine the structures of both in vitro assemblies of the HIV structural precursor protein Gag and Gag viral-like particles (VLPs) to 4.2 Å and 4.5 Å resolutions, using cryo-electron tomography and subtomogram averaging. This study provides insights into the future development of small molecule inhibitors for HIV-1 infection.
