Even in those virions that share basic icosahedral and helical capsid symmetry, remarkable complexity has evolved to promote viral propagation. A prime example of this is Orthoreovirus ...

Berger and coworkers [8] showed that well-formed capsids can result if assembly follows "local rules", in which only subunits with the conformation dictated by adjacent subunits can bind to and ...

The DNA inside a phage capsid is densely packaged, and therefore a strong gate is required to keep it inside. Lhuillier and colleagues, writing in a recent issue of the Proceedings of the National ...
