image: This is a schematic diagram of HIV particles docking to the cell surface. Viral membrane glycoproteins are clustered on the surface of the mature virion and attach to a patch of receptor CD4 molecules to permit cell entry. This image relates to a paper that appeared in the Oct. 26, 2012, issue of Science, published by AAAS. The paper, by Jakub Chojnacki at Heidelberg University in Heidelberg, Germany, and colleagues was titled, “Maturation-Dependent HIV-1 Surface Protein Redistribution Revealed by Fluorescence Nanoscopy." view more
