UNFOLDING OF THE DNA BINDING DOMAIN
OF HIV INTEGRASE
HIV uses proteins to insert its genetic code into our
DNA. The DNA
binding domain of HIV integrase (below) is the protein which HIV
uses
to grab onto our DNA such that it can then connect its genetic
code into
ours.
This movie shows a single trajectory of the unfolding of this
protein
under extreme denaturating conditions.
UNFOLDING OF DESIGNED PROTEIN
This protein was designed by the Mayo Lab to fold into a
"zinc finger"
fold (a protein fold which typically binds to DNA).
