Self Consistent Field Theory of Virus Assembly
Siyu Li, Henri Orland, Roya Zandi
The Ground State Dominance Approximation(GSDA) has been extensively used to study the assembly of viral shells. In this work we employ the self-consistent field theory (SCFT) to in…
RNA Base Pairing Determines the Conformations of RNA Inside Spherical Viruses
Gonca Erdemci-Tandogan, Henri Orland, Roya Zandi
Many simple RNA viruses enclose their genetic material by a protein shell called the capsid. While the capsid structures are well characterized for most viruses, the structure of R…
Impact of a non-uniform charge distribution on virus assembly
Siyu Li, Gonca Erdemci-Tandogan, Jef Wagner +2
Many spherical viruses encapsulate their genome in protein shells with icosahedral symmetry. This process is spontaneous and driven by electrostatic interactions between positive d…
