HIV:  Envelope's letters boxed into shape

John P. Moore1 & James Binley1

The groups of Sodroski and Hendrickson have put their distinctive stamps on the HIV-1 envelope by delivering a package of information (on pages 6481 and 2 of this issue, and in this week's Science3) on the crystal structure of the gp120 surface glycoprotein. These findings complement reports4,5 on the structure of gp41, and have important implications for virology, immunology and vaccine development.
