The Covid-19 pandemic has brought into sharp relief how small elements of a virus can play a crucial role in combating it with therapeutic drugs and vaccines. In Covid’s case, this research has included highly detailed simulations of viral features like the spike protein and the glycan shield; now, researchers from the University of Delaware and Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) have teamed up to apply supercomputing to another devastating virus—HIV-1—in a quest to understand what may be similarly important pharmaceutical targets.
