Elasticity Theory and Shape Transitions of Viral Shells
T. T. Nguyen, R. F. Bruinsma, W. M. Gelbart
Recently, continuum elasticity theory has been applied to explain the shape transition of icosahedral viral capsids - single-protein-thick crystalline shells - from spherical to bu…

Measuring the force ejecting DNA from phage
A. Evilevitch, M. Castelnovo, C. M. Knobler +1
We discuss how a balance can be established between the force acting to eject DNA from viral capsids and the force resisting its entry into a colloidal suspension which mimics the…
