  1. Abstract:

    Although human blood plasma contains molecules that inhibit the activity of HIV-1, their identity is largely unknown. Winch et al. (2007) now identify a peptide corresponding to a portion of alpha 1-antitrypsin that potently inhibits entry of HIV-1 into host cells by binding to a hydrophobic segment of the viral envelope glycoprotein gp41.
