Abstract:The structure of the 5 0 -Leader (5 0 -L) of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) viral RNA genome is under intense study, due to its role in determining the fate of the RNA. Within the host cell, the 5 0 -L is in equilibrium between a monomeric and dimeric conformation. The monomer is translated
