Mechanical control of the height distribution of adsorbed viral capsids
Yeraldinne Carrasco Salas, Kassandra Gérard, Lauriane Lecoq +4
The height of viral particles adsorbed on solid substrates is governed by the equilibrium between adhesion energy and capsid elasticity. While the resulting height distribution has…
Stiffness heterogeneity of small viral capsids
Lucas Menou, Yeraldinne Carrasco-Salas, Lauriane Lecoq +3
Nanoindentation of viral capsids provides an efficient tool in order to probe their elastic properties. We investigate in the present work the various sources of stiffness heteroge…
RNA Control of HIV-1 Particle Size Polydispersity
Cendrine Faivre-Moskalenko, Julien Bernaud, Audrey Thomas +7
HIV-1, an enveloped RNA virus, produces viral particles that are known to be much more heterogeneous in size than is typical of non-enveloped viruses. We present here a novel strat…
Comparing open and closed molecular self-assembly
Martin Castelnovo, Timothée Verdier, Lionel Foret
We study theoretically in the present work the self-assembly of molecules in an open system, which is fed by monomers and depleted in partial or complete clusters. Such a scenario…
Challenging packaging limits and infectivity of phage λ
Elmar Nurmemmedov, Martin Castelnovo, Elizabeth Medina +2
The terminase motors of bacteriophages have been shown to be among the strongest active machines in the biomolecular world, being able to package several tens of kilobase pairs of…
RSC remodeling of oligo-nucleosomes: an atomic force microscopy study
Fabien Montel, Martin Castelnovo, Hervé Menoni +3
RSC is an essential chromatin remodeling factor that is required for the control of several processes including transcription, repair and replication. The ability of RSC to relocat…
