DNA duplex cage structures with icosahedral symmetry
Theoretical Computer Science, 2009 A construction method for duplex cage structures with icosahedral sym- metry made out of single-stranded DNA molecules is presented and applied to an icosidodecahedral cage. It is shown via a mixture of analytic and computer techniques that there exist realisations of this graph in terms of two circular DNA molecules.

Soft modes near the buckling transition of icosahedral shells
, 2007 Icosahedral shells undergo a buckling transition as the ratio of Young's modulus to bending stiffness increases. Strong bending stiffness favors smooth, nearly spherical shapes, while weak bending stiffness leads to a sharply faceted icosahedral shape ...

Structural Capsidomics of Single-Stranded DNA Viruses
VirusesSingle-stranded DNA (ssDNA) viruses are a diverse group of pathogens with broad host range, including bacteria, archaea, protists, fungi, plants, invertebrates, and vertebrates. Their small compact genomes have evolved to encode multiple proteins.

Encapsulation of a polymer by an icosahedral virus
, 2010 The coat proteins of many viruses spontaneously form icosahedral capsids around nucleic acids or other polymers. Elucidating the role of the packaged polymer in capsid formation could promote biomedical efforts to block viral replication and enable use ...

Tailoring the Electron Affinity of Au13 Superhalogen via Ligand Design
Aggregate, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2026.The electron affinities (EAs) of thiophenolate (RS)‐protected gold clusters Au25(SR)18 were determined by gas‐phase photoelectron spectroscopy of the corresponding anions [Au25(SR)18]−. Correlation analysis revealed a linear relationship between the EA and the dipole moment of the RS ligands, which can be explained by the concept of surface potential ...

The microscopic pathway to crystallization in supercooled liquids
, 2012 Despite its fundamental and technological importance, a microscopic understanding of the crystallization process is still elusive. By computer simulations of the hard-sphere model we reveal the mechanism by which thermal fluctuations drive the transition

In situ structures of the segmented genome and RNA polymerase complex inside a dsRNA virus. [PDF]
, 2015 Viruses in the Reoviridae, like the triple-shelled human rotavirus and the single-shelled insect cytoplasmic polyhedrosis virus (CPV), all package a genome of segmented double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs) inside the viral capsid and carry out endogenous ...
