• Conformational properties of HIV-1 gp120/V3 immunogenic domains 

      Galanakis, P. A.; Spyroulias, G. A.; Rizos, A.; Samolis, P.; Krambovitis, E. (2005)
      Infection of target host cells by the human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) is a multi-step process involving a series of conformational changes in the viral gp120 and gp41 proteins. Gp120 binding to the main cell receptor, ...
    • 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 ...
