Stephan Oroszlan and the Proteolytic Processing of Retroviral Proteins: Following A Pro

Steve Oroszlan determined the sequences at the ends of virion proteins for a number of different retroviruses. This work led to the insight that the amino-terminal amino acid of the mature viral CA protein is always proline. In this remembrance, we review Steve’s work that led to this insight and sh...
