Oligomeric modeling and electrostatic analysis of the gp120 envelope glycoprotein of human immunodeficiency virus.

The human immunodeficiency virus envelope glycoproteins, gp120 and gp41, function in cell entry by binding to CD4 and a chemokine receptor on the cell surface and orchestrating the direct fusion of the viral and target cell membranes. On the virion surface, three gp120 molecules associate noncovalen...
