The influence of N-linked glycans on the molecular dynamics of the HIV-1 gp120 V3 loop.
N-linked glycans attached to specific amino acids of the gp120 envelope trimer of a HIV virion can modulate the binding affinity of gp120 to CD4, influence coreceptor tropism, and play an important role in neutralising antibody responses. Because of the challenges associated with crystallising fully...
