1. Glycoproteins coat the outside of viruses; in particular they are important in helping HIV dock to our cells and also help the virus evade our immune system. Below is an image of the HIV transmembrane gp120 protein docking to human cd4 cells via the CXCR4 receptor. HIV-gp120 HIV CXCR4 Coreceptor CCR5 Coreceptor CD4 Receptor CD4 Cell a) i) Describe the general chemical interactions that might be involved in protein- protein interactions between the HIV gp120 protein and the human cd4 CXCR4 protein. Hypothesize what type of amino acid R groups you might find on the ii) exterior regions of each of these proteins, iii) and on the membrane bound portion of these proteins. b) The tertiary structure of gp120 is shown below. Please describe the protein (make sure to cover primary, secondary, and tertiary levels).
