Abstract

Structure-guided approaches to HIV-1 vaccine design depend on knowledge of thepresentation of neutralizing epitopes on gp120, such as the epitope for the broadly neutralizing mAbb12. Here,we characterized predicted three-dimensional structures of functionally diverse gp120 proteins in their b12-bound conformation, to better understand the gp120 determinants that expose or occlude the b12 epitope
