Voth, Gregory Alan; Ayton, Gary S. | Role of protein interactions in defining HIV-1 viral capsid shape and stability: a coarse-grained analysis | Coarse-grained models of the HIV-1 CA dimer are constructed based on all-atom molecular dynamics simulations. Coarse-grained representations of the capsid shell, which is composed of approximately 1,500 copies of CA proteins, are constructed and their stability is examined. A key interaction between... | Virus capsid; HIV-1; Viral capsid shape; Coarse-graining; CA dimer | 2010-01 |
