Viruses and Fullerenes - Symmetry as a Common Thread?
Pierre-Philippe Dechant, Jess Wardman, Tom Keef +1
We apply here the principle of affine symmetry to the nested fullerene cages (carbon onions) that arise in the context of carbon chemistry. Previous work on affine extensions of th…
A new series of polyhedra as blueprints for viral capsids in the family of Papovaviridae
T. Keef, R. Twarock
In a seminal paper Caspar and Klug established a theory that provides a family of polyhedra as blueprints for the structural organisation of viral capsids. In particular, they enco…
Classification of capped tubular viral particles in the family of Papovaviridae
T. Keef, A. Taormina, R. Twarock
A vital constituent of a virus is its protein shell, called the viral capsid, that encapsulates and hence provides protection for the viral genome. Viral capsids are usually spheri…
Assembly Models for Papovaviridae based on Tiling Theory
T. Keef, A. Taormina, R. Twarock
A vital constituent of a virus is its protein shell, called the viral capsid, that encapsulates and hence provides protection for the viral genome. Assembly models are developed fo…
Master equation approach to the assembly of viral capsids
T. Keef, C. Micheletti, R. Twarock
The distribution of inequivalent geometries occurring during self-assembly of the major capsid protein in thermodynamic equilibrium is determined based on a master equation approac…
