	Once Gag is localized to discreet sites on the plasma membrane, multimerization of Gag takes place quite quickly , driven by the CA domain, and more specifically our focus here, the C-terminal domain of CA (CTD). There are four helices that contribute to the interaction of CA CTD with it's partner.

There are four helices that contribute to the interaction of CA CTD with it's partner. A side-by-side interaction has been proposed (Figure 2), but many believe the forces involved in the side-by-side model are not great enough to account for the organization and structural stability of assembled Gag.<applet load='1aum' size='200' frame='true' align='right' caption='FIGURE 3.
