Tiny Ion Is Crucial for HIV Replication: Supercomputer Simulation Explains How Viruses Form Capsids

A new study shows how a handful of ions are crucial to the process by which HIV replicates. On the left is a simulation of a normal capsule; on the right is a simulation of a capsule formed without the IP6 ions. Without the ions, the capsule cannot close and the virus cannot replicate.

A study by chemists at the University of Chicago has uncovered a new key step in the process that HIV uses to replicate itself.
