Capsid and Infectivity in Virus Detection [PDF]
Food and Environmental Virology, 2009 The spectacular achievements and elegance of viral RNA analyses have somewhat obscured the importance of the capsid in transmission of viruses via food and water. The capsid's essential roles are protection of the RNA when the virion is outside the host cell and initiation of infection when the virion contacts a receptor on an appropriate host cell ...

Dynamics of Bacteriophage Genome Ejection In Vitro and In Vivo
, 2010 Bacteriophages, phages for short, are viruses of bacteria. The majority of phages contain a double-stranded DNA genome packaged in a capsid at a density of ~500 mg/ml. This high density requires substantial compression of the normal B form helix, leading

Cluster J Mycobacteriophages: Intron Splicing in Capsid and Tail Genes [PDF]
, 2013 Bacteriophages isolated on Mycobacterium smegmatis mc2155 represent many distinct genomes sharing little or no DNA sequence similarity. The genomes are architecturally mosaic and are replete with genes of unknown function.

Electrostatic theory of viral self-assembly: a toy model
, 2007 Viruses self-assemble from identical capsid proteins and their genome consisting, for example, of a long single stranded (ss) RNA. For a big class of T = 3 viruses capsid proteins have long positive N-terminal tails.

Protein chainmail variants in dsDNA viruses. [PDF]
, 2015 First discovered in bacteriophage HK97, biological chainmail is a highly stable system formed by concatenated protein rings. Each subunit of the ring contains the HK97-like fold, which is characterized by its submarine-like shape with a 5-stranded β ...

Capsid-Labelled HIV To Investigate the Role of Capsid during Nuclear Import and Integration [PDF]
Journal of Virology, 2020 HIV-1 capsid protein (CA) builds a conical shell protecting viral genomic RNA inside the virus particles. Upon entry into host cells, this shell disassembles in a process of uncoating, which is coordinated with reverse transcription of viral RNA into DNA.

Dynamics of polymer ejection from capsid
, 2014 Polymer ejection from a capsid through a nanoscale pore is an important biological process with relevance to modern biotechnology. Here, we study generic capsid ejection using Langevin dynamics.

Engineering CAR‐T Therapeutics for Enhanced Solid Tumor Targeting
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.CART cell therapy has proven effective for blood cancers but struggles with solid tumors due to diverse antigens and complex environments. Recent efforts focus on improving CAR design and validation platforms. Advances in protein engineering, machine learning, and organoid systems aim to enhance CAR‐T therapy against solid tumors.
