What structural feature on HIV allows it to attach to a receptor on the cell membrane of its target?
The surface of the HIV virion contains a glycoprotein called gp120 which allows it to attach to human immune system cells. The T cells of the immune systemhave a receptor on their cell membrane called CD45. A strong interaction between CD45 and gp120 has been shown.
