Mechanical Properties of Viral Capsids
Roya Zandi, David Reguera
Viruses are known to tolerate wide ranges of pH and salt conditions and to withstand internal pressures as high as 100 atmospheres. In this paper we investigate the mechanical prop…
What drives the translocation of stiff chains?
Roya Zandi, David Reguera, Joseph Rudnick +1
We study the dynamics of the passage of a stiff chain through a pore into a cell containing particles that bind reversibly to it. Using Brownian Molecular Dynamics simulations we i…
Viral self-assembly as a thermodynamic process
Robijn F. Bruinsma, William M. Gelbart, David Reguera +2
The protein shells, or capsids, of all sphere-like viruses adopt icosahedral symmetry. In the present paper we propose a statistical thermodynamic model for viral self-assembly. We…
