NCI Team Remodels Key AIDS Virus Enzyme
The Original Structure of the AIDS Virus Protease was not quite right. The new view may did anti-AIDS drug development
Jean L. Marx
In her Research News article "NCI team remodels key AIDS virus enzyme" (11 Aug., p. 598), Jean L. Marx wrote that Tom Blundell and his colleagues at Birkbeck College in London determined the three-dimensional structure of a recombinant AIDS virus protease. She neglected to mention that researchers from Pfizer Central Research in Groton, Connecticut, and Sandwich, England, made the recombinant enzyme and collaborated in the structural analysis.
