Orientational Phase Transitions and the Assembly of Viral Capsids
Sanjay Dharmavaram, Fangming Xie, William Klug +2
We present a generalized Landau-Brazovskii free energy for the solidification of chiral molecules on a spherical surface in the context of the assembly of viral shells. We encounte…
Landau Theory and the Emergence of Chirality in Viral Capsids
Sanjay Dharmavaram, Fangming Xie, William Klug +2
We present a generalized Landau-Brazovskii theory for the solidification of chiral molecules on a spherical surface. With increasing sphere radius one encounters first intervals wh…
Viscous regularization and r-adaptive remeshing for finite element analysis of lipid membrane mechanics
Lin Ma, William S. Klug
As two-dimensional fluid shells, lipid bilayer membranes resist bending and stretching but are unable to sustain shear stresses. This property gives membranes the ability to adopt…
Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis of Nanoindentation of Viral Capsids
Melissa M. Gibbons, William S. Klug
Recent Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) nanoindentation experiments measuring mechanical response of the protein shells of viruses have provided a quantitative description of their st…
