To become infectious, HIV has to undergo a maturation process, which involves a rearrangement of the matrix proteins (red).

What about viruses? Would you consider them living or nonliving? Let’s look closely at the life cycle of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) – the virus that causes AIDS – to find out. This ...

Supercomputer simulations have revealed how changes in the shape of the HIV-1 capsid protein may help the virus squeeze its ... So we can't really get a good structure of it." ...

They graphically represent the life cycle of HIV-1, from the initial binding of the viral particle onto a host cell (Viral Entry), through insinuation into the host cell's nucleus to spark the ...

Another important discovery was an intricate RNA structure near ... analysis revealed that while HIV-1 mRNAs are translated efficiently throughout infection, the virus suppresses the protein ...

Protein crystallization at the SER-CAT beamline at Argonne’s Advanced Photon Source proved key to the discovery of a new HIV vaccine candidate.

This molecule, known as EBC-46, works by temporarily activating the HIV virus in the affected cells as they hide so that the body’s immune system can remove the virus, according to a study published ...

The human immune deficiency virus (HIV) first entered public consciousness ... and they form a new structure," said Chelico. "APOBEC proteins are part of a natural defense system against viruses ...

However, this treatment does not result in the total eradication of HIV. Rather, the virus is thought to remain latent in a subset of cells, where it avoids elimination by the immune system.
