AB We have developed a computational tool for biological research to study
the replication strategy of the human immunodeficiency virus. This model
incorporates a formal model using Petri Nets and scientific citations.
In the development of the formal model we have uncovered some facets of
the replication strategy that warrant further investigation due to the
incompleteness of current knowledge. A detailed understanding of the
replication strategy allows better definition of steps that might be
amenable to novel antiviral development. Modelling this strategy on the
computer facilitates formulating and testing hypotheses at a theoretical
level and organising the burgeoning HIV literature within the structure
of this easily interpreted model. Application of this to modelling roles
for the HIV auxiliary proteins revealed details of Tat, Rev and Nef
functions yet to be resolved.
