  1. Abstract:

    HIV-1 Nucleocapsid protein (NC) is a small basic protein that contains two retroviral zinc fingers. It is a highly effective nucleic acid chaperone that plays a critical role in viral replication acting as a cofactor in reverse transcription as well as other aspects of the viral lifecycle. We have used a variety of biophysical techniques to characterize the high affinity binding of NC to a short deoxyoligonucleotide (d(TG)(4)). Here we outline in detail the use of fluorescence anisotropy and surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy to study the binding of NC to d(TG)(4).
