Computational scientists at the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign and the University of Pittsburg have now resolved the HIV capsid's chemical structure. As reported recently on the cover of Nature, the researchers combined NMR structure analysis, electron microscopy and data-guided molecular dynamics simulations utilizing VMD to prepare and analyze simulations performed using NAMD on NVIDIA GPUs in one of the most powerful computers worldwide, Blue Waters, to obtain and characterize the HIV-1 capsid. The discovery can now guide the design of novel drugs for enhanced antiviral therapy.Also learn how NAMD performs with the latest Kepler GPUs, as well as details about GPU Test Drive (www.nvidia.com/GPUTestDrive) and how to try NAMD on Kepler GPUs for free.

trimeric center
There are also dimeric symmetry centers!

Compare: (1) H10 superimposed from HOH, (2) H10 from POH; clearly pentamer
H10 moves a lot, H10(P)+H10(H)^2 become more compact than H10(H)^3
15. Analogy with
fullerenes
High correlation
with experimental
density
The parameter ξ measures the deviation of the fullerene from a perfect
sphere and the strength of its deformation. A perfect sphere corresponds to
ξ=0, and an axially symmetric ellipsoid corresponds to ξ=1.
