Multivalent ion effects on electrostatic stability of virus-like nano-shells
Leili Javidpour, Anže Lošdorfer Božič, Ali Naji +1
Electrostatic properties and stability of charged virus-like nano-shells are examined in ionic solutions with monovalent and multivalent ions. A theoretical model based on a thin c…
Symmetry effects in electrostatic interactions between two arbitrarily charged spherical shells in the Debye-Hückel approximation
Anze Losdorfer Bozic, Rudolf Podgornik
Inhomogeneous charge distributions have important repercussions on electrostatic interactions in systems of charged particles but are often difficult to examine theoretically. We i…
Statistical analysis of sizes and shapes of virus capsids and their resulting elastic properties
Anze Losdorfer Bozic, Antonio Siber, Rudolf Podgornik
From the analysis of sizes of approximately 130 small icosahedral viruses we find that there is a typical structural capsid protein, having a mean diameter of 5 nm and a mean thick…
How simple can a model of an empty viral capsid be? Charge distributions in viral capsids
Anze Losdorfer Bozic, Antonio Siber, Rudolf Podgornik
We investigate and quantify salient features of the charge distributions on viral capsids. Our analysis combines the experimentally determined capsid geometry with simple models fo…
