Mechanical design of apertures and the infolding of pollen grain
Anze Bozic, Antonio Siber
When pollen grains become exposed to the environment, they rapidly desiccate. To protect themselves until rehydration, the grains undergo characteristic infolding with the help of…
Electrostatics-driven inflation of elastic icosahedral shells as a model for radial swelling of virus-like particles
Anže Lošdorfer Božič, Antonio Šiber
We develop a clear theoretical description of radial swelling in virus-like particles which delineates the importance of electrostatic contributions to swelling in absence of any c…
Wrinkles of graphene on Ir(111): Macroscopic network ordering and internal multi-lobed structure
Marin Petrović, Jerzy T. Sadowski, Antonio Šiber +1
The large-scale production of graphene monolayer greatly relies on epitaxial samples which often display stress-relaxation features in the form of wrinkles. Wrinkles of graphene on…
Statistical analysis of sizes and shapes of virus capsids and their resulting elastic properties
Anze Losdorfer Bozic, Antonio Siber, Rudolf Podgornik
From the analysis of sizes of approximately 130 small icosahedral viruses we find that there is a typical structural capsid protein, having a mean diameter of 5 nm and a mean thick…
How simple can a model of an empty viral capsid be? Charge distributions in viral capsids
Anze Losdorfer Bozic, Antonio Siber, Rudolf Podgornik
We investigate and quantify salient features of the charge distributions on viral capsids. Our analysis combines the experimentally determined capsid geometry with simple models fo…
Energies and pressures in viruses: contribution of nonspecific electrostatic interactions
Antonio Šiber, Anže Lošdorfer Božič, Rudolf Podgornik
We summarize some aspects of electrostatic interactions in the context of viruses. A simplified but, within well defined limitations, reliable approach is used to derive expression…
