Structures of Three Actinobacteriophage Capsids: Roles of Symmetry and Accessory Proteins
Viruses, 2020 Here, we describe the structure of three actinobacteriophage capsids that infect Mycobacterium smegmatis. The capsid structures were resolved to approximately six angstroms, which allowed confirmation that each bacteriophage uses the HK97-fold to form ...

Simultaneous membrane and RNA binding by tick-borne encephalitis virus capsid protein.
PLoS Pathogens, 2023 Tick-borne encephalitis virus is an enveloped, pathogenic, RNA virus in the family Flaviviridae, genus Flavivirus. Viral particles are formed when the nucleocapsid, consisting of an RNA genome and multiple copies of the capsid protein, buds through the ...

Chiral Quasicrystalline Order and Dodecahedral Geometry in Exceptional Families of Viruses
, 2012 On the example of exceptional families of viruses we i) show the existence of a completely new type of matter organization in nanoparticles, in which the regions with a chiral pentagonal quasicrystalline order of protein positions are arranged in a ...

Density waves theory of the capsid structure of small icosahedral viruses
, 2006 We apply Landau theory of crystallization to explain and to classify the capsid structures of small viruses with spherical topology and icosahedral symmetry.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A combinatorial library of dual‐functional antiviral oligomers incorporating N‐halamine and quaternary ammonium functionalities is developed for long‐lasting antiviral activity. The lead materials exhibit rapid and durable antiviral activity against SARS‐CoV‐2 variants and influenza H1N1, with 4 to 5 log reduction in viral copies at 5 mg mL−1 ...

Enhancing Capsid Proteins Capacity in Plant Virus-Vector Interactions and Virus Transmission
Cells, 2021 Vector transmission of plant viruses is basically of two types that depend on the virus helper component proteins or the capsid proteins. A number of plant viruses belonging to disparate groups have developed unusual capsid proteins providing for ...

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

Measuring the force ejecting DNA from phage [PDF]
, 2004 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 host cell cytoplasm.
