Effect of coat-protein concentration on the self-assembly of bacteriophage MS2 capsids around RNA
LaNell A. Williams, Andreas Neophytou, Rees F. Garmann +2
Self-assembly is a vital part of the life cycle of certain icosahedral RNA viruses. Furthermore, the assembly process can be harnessed to make icosahedral virus-like particles (VLP…
Precise characterization of nanometer-scale systems using interferometric scattering microscopy and Bayesian analysis
Xander M. de Wit, Amelia W. Paine, Caroline Martin +3
Interferometric scattering microscopy (iSCAT) can image the dynamics of nanometer-scale systems. The typical approach to analyzing interferometric images involves intensive process…
Measurements of the self-assembly kinetics of individual viral capsids around their RNA genome
Rees F. Garmann, Aaron M. Goldfain, Vinothan N. Manoharan
The formation of a viral capsid -- the highly-ordered protein shell that surrounds the genome of a virus -- is the canonical example of self-assembly. The capsids of many positive-…
Functional analysis of the N-terminal basic motif of a eukaryotic satellite RNA virus capsid protein in replication and packaging
Venkatesh Sivanandam, Deborah Mathews, Rees Garmann +3
Efficient replication and assembly of virus particles are integral to the establishment of infection. In addition to the primary role of the capsid protein (CP) in encapsidating th…
Fast, label-free tracking of single viruses and weakly scattering nanoparticles in a nano-fluidic optical fiber
Sanli Faez, Yoav Lahini, Stefan Weidlich +6
High-speed tracking of single particles is a gateway to understanding physical, chemical, and biological processes at the nanoscale. It is also a major experimental challenge, part…
Quasi-Equilibrium Self-Assembly of Small RNA Viruses
Robijn F. Bruinsma, Mauricio Comas-Garcia, Rees F. Garmann +1
We propose a description for the quasi-equilibrium self-assembly of small, single-stranded (ss) RNA viruses whose capsid proteins (CPs) have flexible, positively charged, disordere…
