Structures of Spherical Viral Capsids as Quasicrystalline Tilings
O. V. Konevtsova, V. L. Lorman, S. B. Rochal
Spherical viral shells with icosahedral symmetry have been considered as quasicrystalline tilings. Similarly to known Caspar-Klug quasi-equivalence theory, the presented approach a…
Instabilities and shape variation phase transitions in tubular lipid membranes
I. Yu. Golushko, S. B. Rochal, A. Parmeggiani +1
Changes of external parameters in proximity of critical point can increase thermal fluctuations of tubular lipid membrane (TLM) and result in variation of the membrane shape. The p…
Dodecagonal spherical quasicrystals
I. A. Shevchenko, O. V. Konevtsova, S. B. Rochal
We argue that 2D dodecagonal spherical quasicrystalls (QCs) will be discovered in the nearest future and investigate how the planar QC order becomes compatible with the spherical g…
Density waves, dodecahedral geometry and structures of some spherical viral capsids
O. V. Konevtsova, S. B. Rochal, V. L. Lorman
A pentagonal order formed by 360 proteins in the bovine papilloma viral capsid and structures of some smaller viral capsids are considered from a unified point of view based on the…
Density waves theory of the capsid structure of small icosahedral viruses
V. L. Lorman, S. B. Rochal
We apply Landau theory of crystallization to explain and to classify the capsid structures of small viruses with spherical topology and icosahedral symmetry. We develop an explicit…
