Effect of coat-protein concentration on the self-assembly of bacteriophage MS2 capsids around RNA
LaNell A. Williams, Andreas Neophytou, Rees F. Garmann +2
Self-assembly is a vital part of the life cycle of certain icosahedral RNA viruses. Furthermore, the assembly process can be harnessed to make icosahedral virus-like particles (VLP…
Design principles for Bernal spirals and helices with tunable pitch
Szilard N. Fejer, Dwaipayan Chakrabarti, Halim Kusumaatmaja +1
Using the framework of potential energy landscape theory, we describe two in silico designs for self-assembling helical colloidal superstructures based upon dipolar dumbbells and J…
Energy landscapes, structural topologies and rearrangement mechanisms in clusters of dipolar particles
James D. Farrell, Christabel Lines, James J. Shepherd +3
Clusters of spherical particles with isotropic attraction favour compact structures that maximise the number of energetically optimal nearest-neighbour interactions. In contrast, d…
Orientational relaxation in a discotic liquid crystal
Dwaipayan Chakrabarti, Biman Jana, Biman Bagchi
We investigate orientational relaxation of a model discotic liquid crystal, consists of disc-like molecules, by molecular dynamics simulations along two isobars starting from the h…
How glassy are orientational dynamics of rodlike molecules near the isotropic-nematic transition?
Biman Jana, Dwaipayan Chakrabarti, Biman Bagchi
In an attempt to quantitatively characterize the recently observed slow dynamics in the isotropic and nematic phase of liquid crystals, we investigate the single-particle orientati…
Anisotropic translational diffusion in the nematic phase: Dynamical signature of the coupling between orientational and translational order in the energy landscape
Dwaipayan Chakrabarti, Biman Bagchi
We find in a model system of thermotropic liquid crystals that the translational diffusion coefficient parallel to the director first increases and then decreases a…
