Enfuvirtide, a 36-amino-acid peptide derived from HR2, destabilizes this process by binding to HR1 and blocks the infectivity of HIV-1. Viral resistance to enfuvirtide usually results from ...

Gilead in the 2000s took the research out of the lab by developing lenacapavir, which binds to key HIV proteins and interferes with several steps in the virus’s life cycle.

In particular, miR29 plays a key role in controlling the HIV life cycle. ... The study also showed that inhibition of miR29 enhances viral replication and infectivity.

The immune system of elite controllers, the individuals able to control HIV infection without drug treatment, was studied and it provided a key step in the virus's life cycle.
