The research of G4s in the HIV-1 genome has been quite productive, concerning not only the two RNA viral genome copies, but also the integrated proviral genome, specifically For each virus the following information is shown: virion structure and dimension, genome size and organization; schematic representation of the G4 (red dots) location in the viral genomes or in the mRNA and G4 binding proteins; number of G4s assessed through bioinformatics analysis, according to the corresponding references; G4 ligands reported to date to display antiviral effect and corresponding references. ./cache/cord-319116-2ts6zpdb.txt ./txt/cord-319116-2ts6zpdb.txt
