• Biophysical characterization of V3-lipopeptide liposomes influencing HIV-1 infectivity 

      Rizos, A. K.; Baritaki, S.; Tsikalas, I.; Doetschman, D. C.; Spandidos, D. A.; Krambovitis, E. (2007)
      The V3-loop of the HIV-1 gp120 alters host cell immune function and modulates infectivity. We investigated biophysical parameters of liposome constructs with embedded lipopeptides from the principle neutralizing domain of ...
    • Evidence of HIV-1 gp120/V3-CCR5 peptide complex organization in vitro 

      Rizos, A. K.; Mpountouraki, A.; Logakh, C.; Samolis, P.; Hatzidakis, G.; Doetschman, D. C.; Krambovitis, E. (2011)
      The V3-loop of the HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein gp120 interacts with the chemokine receptor CCR5 on the surface of the target cell. Electrostatic interactions between the electropositive V3-loop and the strongly electronegative ...
