TACC: Frontera HPC Helps Reveal Weaknesses in HIV-1 ‘Armor’
June 17, 2022 by
The Frontera supercomputer at TACC has furthered scientists’ understanding of how the HIV-1 virus infects and helped generate the first realistic simulations of its capsid, complete with its proteins, water, genetic material, and a key cofactor called IP6 recently discovered to stabilize and help form the capsid. “The vulnerabilities in the armor of the HIV-1 virus capsid were revealed by these very big simulations and the analysis we did,” said Gregory Voth, the Haig P. Papazian Distinguished Service Professor at the University of Chicago. Voth is the lead author on the HIV-1 capsid study published in March 2022 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
