The equilibrium structure of self-assembled protein nano-cages
Sanaz Panahandeh, Siyu Li, Roya Zandi
Understanding how highly symmetric, robust, monodisperse protein cages self-assemble can have major applications in various areas of bio-nanotechnology, such as drug delivery, biom…
Why large icosahedral viruses need scaffolding proteins: The interplay of Gaussian curvature and disclination interactions
Siyu Li, Polly Roy, Alex Travesset +1
While small single stranded viral shells encapsidate their genome spontaneously, many large viruses, such as the Herpes virus or Infectious Bursal Disease Virus (IBDV), typically r…
The effect of RNA stiffness on the self-assembly of virus particles
Siyu Li, Gonca Erdemci-Tandogan, Paul van der Schoot +1
Under many in vitro conditions, some small viruses spontaneously encapsidate a single stranded (ss) RNA into a protein shell called the capsid. While viral RNAs are found to be com…
