Disruption of the HIV-1 Envelope allosteric network blocks CD4-induced rearrangements

Disruption of the HIV-1 Envelope allosteric network blocks CD4-induced rearrangements

Here, using cryo-EM and smFRET, Henderson et al. show how tryptophan 571 in the HIV-1 Env acts as a conformational switch during receptor-mediated viral entry and design HIV-1 Env proteins that cannot undergo conformational changes. This has important implications for HIV-1 vaccine design.
