Side view of a molecular representation of an immature human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) capsid in an intact virus particle. The polyprotein assembles into a hexameric protein lattice at the plasma membrane of the infected cell, inducing budding and release of an immature to internal rearrangement of the virus into the mature, infectious form.
