Abstract
We further present computational studies on HIV-1 transactivator of transcription (Tot) viral RNA binding protein. Interfering with Tat/TAR interactions is a promising strategy for anti-AIDS intervention. We have identified conserved structural and energetic features among different protein isolates and predicted the structural determinants of Tat in complex with one of the host cell cognate proteins, p/CAF. These findings may help the design of ligands interfering with Tat function.
