Impact of the RNA Binding Domain Localization of the Protein Shell on Virus Particle Stability
Mohammadamin Safdari, Siyu Li, Sanaz Panahandeh +2
The encapsulation of polyanions, whether single-stranded RNAs or synthetic polymers, is primarily driven by attractive electrostatic interactions between the positively charged, st…
Virus Assembly Pathways inside a Host Cell
Sanaz Panahandeh, Siyu Li, Bogdan Dragnea +1
Simple RNA viruses self-assemble spontaneously and encapsulate their genome into a shell called the capsid. This process is mainly driven by the attractive electrostatic interactio…
How a Virus Circumvents Energy Barriers to Form Symmetric Shells
Sanaz Panahandeh, Siyu Li, Laurent Marichal +3
Previous self-assembly experiments on a model icosahedral plant virus have shown that, under physiological conditions, capsid proteins initially bind to the genome through an en ma…
The equilibrium structure of self-assembled protein nano-cages
Sanaz Panahandeh, Siyu Li, Roya Zandi
Understanding how highly symmetric, robust, monodisperse protein cages self-assemble can have major applications in various areas of bio-nanotechnology, such as drug delivery, biom…
