| Abstract | HIV-1 requires engagement of host co-receptor CCR5 or CXCR4 in order to infect human cells. Amino acid identity at positions 11 and/or 25 in the V3 loop of HIV-1 gp120 (positions 306 and 322 in terms of standard HXB2 gp120 numbering) has been shown to strongly influence which co-receptor is utilized by a viral strain. To identify additional sites in other gp120 regions that may influence co-receptor usage, we compared, position-by-position, the electrostatic charge distributions at each location in the 3D structure of X4-tropic gp120 core domains to each structurally equivalent location in R5-tropic gp120 core domains. Seven sites in the gp120 core showed a significant difference in charge distribution between the viral sets. The two strongest differences were positions 440 and 373, both located adjacent to the origin of the V3 loop, suggesting that the co-receptor binding surface of gp120 is a single hotspot formed by the V3 loop and adjacent gp120 core regions. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
