L to fit neutralization experiments where neutralization is achieved with either 4E10 or 2F5 IgG or Fab. Our analysis of these experiments indicates that at the start of the pre-hairpin intermediate only a few gp41 trimers are involved in bridging the virion and target cell. As the bonds break sequentially those that remain come under additional strain and are disabled more easily.membrane fusion

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) enters its host cells following the interaction between the virus envelope glycoprotein (Gp120), the cell surface CD4 receptor, and a chemokine receptor, which may be CCR5 and/ or CXCR4, acting as a coreceptor1.
