Figure 5.
Fig. 5. Model for the intact HIV-1 capsid dimer. The CA(146-231) dimer (cyan) is shown covalently linked to the CA(1-151) domain (23). The five disordered residues that connect the two domains can be modeled to allow ~90° range of relative rotational orientation for the two domains about the vertical twofold axis.
