Atomic-level structure of the entire HIV-1 capsid
Template:ABSTRACT PUBMED 23719463
Function
[Q79791_9HIV1] Capsid protein p24 forms the conical core of the virus that encapsulates the genomic RNA-nucleocapsid complex (By similarity).[SAAS:SAAS000071_004_008806] Nucleocapsid protein p7 encapsulates and protects viral dimeric unspliced (genomic) RNA. Binds these RNAs through its zinc fingers (By similarity).[SAAS:SAAS000071_004_011858]
