Abstract
The nucleocapsid protein NCp7 of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), which has key functions in the virus life cycle, possesses two zinc fingers of the CX2CX4HX4C type characterized by three successive loops containing a tetrahedrally coordinated zinc atom. The replacement of any cysteine by a serine in either finger has been shown to result in the production of noninfectious viruses, probably by impairing the biological functions of...
