Structural basis for biologically relevant mechanical stiffening of a virus capsid by cavity-creating or spacefilling mutations
Abstract Recent studies reveal that the mechanical properties of virus particles may have been shaped by evolution to facilitate virus survival. Manipulation of the mechanical behavior of virus capsids is leading to a better understanding of viral infection, and to the development of virus-based nan...
