28 years to figure out to attack the binding site???

gp120, glycoprotein 120, is pretty slick. Enter gp120 conformational changes and hiv binding into the query box at PubMed. I got 129 hits. This binding site is very well hidden, IMHO.

Great, now can we get some more money put on cancer and alzheimers research?
