It is nature's most efficient way to build a shell from many identical proteins. Is this assembly process conserved across different virus families? Yes. Most spherical viruses rely on the same ...

New insight on the conditions that control self-assembly in the protective shell of viruses has been published today in eLife. The study also highlights the factors that can cause incorrect ...

RIVERSIDE, Calif. -- Research led by a physicist at the University of California, Riverside, shows how viruses form protective shells, or capsids, around their genomes — a process that, while messy ...
