Within the materials science community, proteins with cage-like architectures are being
developed as versatile nanoscale platforms for use in protein nanotechnology. Much effort …

Materials scientists increasingly draw inspiration from the study of how biological systems
fabricate materials under mild synthetic conditions by using self‐assembled macromolecular …

Background: RNA–protein interactions stabilize many viruses and also the nucleoprotein
cores of enveloped animal viruses (eg retroviruses). The nucleoprotein particles are …

Viral capsids can adopt various geometries, most iconically characterized by icosahedral or
helical symmetries. Importantly, precise control over the size and shape of virus capsids …

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 …

Capsids of spherical viruses share a common architecture: an icosahedral arrangement of
identical proteins. We suggest that there may be a limited number of common assembly …

The structure and assembly of icosahedral virus capsids composed of one or more gene
products and displaying quasi-equivalent subunit associations are discussed at three levels …

The self‐assembly into supramolecular polymers is a process driven by reversible non‐
covalent interactions between monomers, and gives access to materials applications …

This volume comprises chapters on the comovirus, nepovirus, pea enation mosaic virus,
dianthovirus, cucumovirus, bromovirus, ilarvirus, alfalfa mosaic virus, tobamovirus …

The protein shells, or capsids, of nearly all spherelike viruses adopt icosahedral symmetry.
In the present Letter, we propose a statistical thermodynamic model for viral self-assembly …
