HIV structure and genome
The
genome and
proteins of
HIV have been the subject of extensive research since the discovery of the virus in 1983. It is a well known fact that no two HIV genomes are the same, not even from the same person, causing some to speculate that HIV is a "
quasispecies" of a virus.

gp160
a glycoprotein in the outer envelope of HIV which enables the virus to enter human cells. The glycoprotein is produced by the viral env gene and cleaved into gp120 and gp41 fragments.
gp160
Glycoprotein 160. A precursor of HIV envelope proteins gp41 and gp120. gp160 is cut by HIV protease to form gp120 and gp41.
