Fig. 1. HIV-1 gp41 core structure. A schematic diagram of gp41 showing the important functional regions of the ectodomain. The amino acid sequences of the N34 and C28 segments are shown. The N34(L6)C28 model of the gp41 core consists of N34 and C28 plus a linker of six hydrophilic residues. The disulfide bond and four potential N-glycosylation sites are depicted. The residues are numbered according to their position in gp160.
