Comparative analysis of the extent of protein-protein interactions in icosahedral viral capsids. [PDF]
Protein SciAbstract Nonenveloped viruses package, carry, and deliver their genomes to the targeted cells using protein shells known as capsids. The viral capsids come in different shapes and sizes, most exhibiting helical or icosahedral symmetries. Here, we analyzed 634 icosahedral capsids at high resolution (<4 Å) from 39 virus families with T‐numbers ranging ...
