... [1]. The structural retroviral polyprotein (Gag) of HIV-1 forms the immature capsid, and is subse-quently cleaved by the viral protease into severalmature proteins: the matrix, the capsid protein ... residues 146–231 of the intact protein; CACW40A, mutant of CAC with Ala instead of Trp at position 184 of CA; CSA, chemical shift anisotropy; Gag, the structural retroviral polyprotein of retroviruses;NOE, ... Ser146 in the numbering of the intact CA). The CACW40A protein is monomeric, and its structure is similar to that of the subunits in the dimeric, non-mutated CAC, but, in the monomeric form, the segment...
