title: Peptidomimetic inhibitors targeting the CCR5-binding site on the human immunodeficiency virus type-1 gp120 glycoprotein complexed to CD4.
abstract: A helical tyrosine-sulfated epitope in CCR5 that is recognized by the human immunodeficiency virus type-1 envelope glycoprotein gp120 in its CD4-induced conformation can be mimicked structurally by a cyclic β-hairpin peptide containing two sulfated tyrosine residues at positions i and i + 2 along one β-strand.
