The role of capsid in HIV-1 nuclear entry

A Guedán, ER Caroe, GCR Barr, KN Bishop - Viruses, 2021 - mdpi.com
HIV-1 can infect non-dividing cells. The nuclear envelope therefore represents a barrier that
HIV-1 must traverse in order to gain access to the host cell chromatin for integration. Hence …
