Molecular dynamics study of T=3 capsid assembly

D. C. Rapaport

Molecular dynamics simulation is used to model the self-assembly of polyhedral shells containing 180 trapezoidal particles that correspond to the T=3 virus capsid. Three kinds of p…

Molecular dynamics simulation of reversibly self-assembling shells in solution using trapezoidal particles

D. C. Rapaport

The self-assembly of polyhedral shells, each constructed from 60 trapezoidal particles, is simulated using molecular dynamics. The spatial organization of the component particles i…
