Structural Heterogeneity of the Membrane-Interacting Region of the HIV-1 Envelope Glycoprotein.

Journal of the American Chemical Society
The HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein (Env) trimer (gp120/gp41) forms the key functional envelope spike and is the target of neutralizing antibodies. The glycoprotein gp41 component mediates the fusion of viral and host cell membranes. The membrane-interac...

Utilizing Machine Learning to Improve Neutralization Potency of an HIV-1 Antibody Targeting the gp41 N-Heptad Repeat.

ACS chemical biology
The N-heptad repeat (NHR) of the HIV-1 gp41 prehairpin intermediate (PHI) is an attractive potential vaccine target with high sequence conservation across diverse strains. However, despite the potency of NHR-targeting peptides and clinical efficacy o...

Report: Antibacterial activity of a peptide derived from HIV-1 MN strain gp41 envelope glycoprotein against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.

Pakistan journal of pharmaceutical sciences
Peptides derived from HIV-1 transmembrane proteins have been extensively studied for antimicrobial activities, and they are known as antimicrobial peptides (AMPs). These AMPs have also been reported to potently combat the drug-resistant microbes. In ...
