This paper investigates the structure of the HIV glycoprotein gp120 by cryo-electron tomography and molecular modelling. gp120 is analysed in an unliganded state, complexed with a neutralizing antibody and in a CD4 liganded state. The analysis provides insight into the conformational changes that occur with ligand binding.
