Abstract:

UNC chemists aim to decode the genome of HIV, a RNA-based virus, to model its genetic structure. They hope to decode different stages of the HIV structure and then make a movie of how it looks over its replication cycle. This could provide insight to new ideas for therapies and targeted responses to HIV and AIDS.
