Figure 8. NBD analogues are unable to bind Ser 375 variants of gp120s.

Figure 8

(A) Clade BYU2 gp120 coree binds both NBD-556(Ligand:1) and sCD4. Ser 375 was shown in the NBD-557 bound cavity. (B) Clade A/E93TH057 gp120 coree does not show detectable binding to NBD-556 immobilized onto a CM5, but binds to sCD4. NBD-557 modeled into the Phe 43 cavity of clade A/E gp120 clashes with His 375. (C) Clade AKER2008 gp120 coree does not bind NBD-556, but does bind sCD4. Met 375 modeled into NBD-557-bound YU2 gp120 clashes with NBD-557. (D) Clade CRF34_1OUR2478P gp120 coree does not bind NBD-556, but binds sCD4. NBD-557 clashes with Trp 375 in the Phe 43 cavity.
