Self-assembly is a ubiquitous process in synthetic and biological systems, broadly defined
as the spontaneous organization of multiple subunits (macromolecules, particles, etc.) into …

A virus capsid is constructed from many copies of the same protein (s). Molecular
recognition is central to capsid assembly. The capsid protein must polymerize in order to …

This paper is devoted to the multidisciplinary modelling of a pandemic initiated by an
aggressive virus, specifically the so-called SARS–CoV–2 Severe Acute Respiratory …

With few exceptions, the shells (capsids) of sphere-like viruses have the symmetry of an
icosahedron and are composed of coat proteins (subunits) assembled in special motifs, the …

We develop a class of models with which we simulate the assembly of particles into T1
capsidlike objects using Newtonian dynamics. By simulating assembly for many different …

Viruses play a role in a significant portion of human diseases, as well as those of other
animals, plants, and bacteria. This chapter focuses on the use of theoretical and …

Viruses have evolved protein containers with a wide spectrum of icosahedral architectures
to protect their genetic material. The geometric constraints defining these container designs …

Self-assembly of viral proteins into icosahedral capsids is an interesting yet poorly
understood phenomenon of which elucidation may aid the exploration of beneficial …

Understanding the biological self-assembly process of virus capsids is key to understanding
the viral life cycle, as well as serving as a platform for the design of assembly-based antiviral …

Self-assembly at submicroscopic scales is an important but little understood phenomenon. A
prominent example is virus capsid growth, whose underlying behavior can be modeled …
