Refolding Dynamics of gp41 from Pre-fusion to Pre-hairpin States during HIV‑1 Entry
The HIV-1 infection is triggered by the binding of the viral envelope glycoprotein (Env) gp120–gp41 trimer to host-cell receptor CD4 and co-receptor CCR5/CXCR4, which leads to substantial conformational changes of Env, that is, structural transition of ...

Computational study of bindings of olive leaf extract (OLE) to HIV-1 fusion protein gp41
Recent experimental study found that OLE (olive leaf extract) has anti-HIV activity by blocking the HIV virus entry to host cells [Lee-Huang, S., Zhang, L., Huang, P.L., Chang, Y. and Huang, P.L.

Studies on the mechanism of complement-mediated inhibition of antibody binding to HIV gp41
SUMMARY We have previously demonstrated that HIV envelope gp41 binding to specific antibodies decreases after preincubation of fluid-phase gp41 in normal human serum.

This paper reviews two principle approaches to inhibition of gp41-mediated membrane fusion: peptide and small molecule structure-based drug design. In particular, I explore the methods, challenges, and findings of structural studies of gp41, as well as ...

Structural Studies of Computationally Designed Inhibitors of HIV Gp41 [PDF]
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is a major public health concern. New strategies that target viral entry hold promise for preventing infection or for enhancing the efficacy of existing anti-retroviral therapy.

Conformational trajectory of the HIV-1 fusion peptide during CD4-induced envelope opening
The hydrophobic fusion peptide (FP), a critical component of the HIV-1 entry machinery, is located at the N terminus of the envelope (Env) gp41 subunit. The receptor-binding gp120 subunit of Env forms a heterodimer with gp41.

We have developed two immunoassay systems, one designated HIV (p24, p66, gp41) ELISA that use as antigens the immunodominant epitopes mixed from each of three major groups of HIV-1 proteins: the core (p24), the pol (p66) and the env (gp41) gene.
