Virus shells use asymmetry to control RNA release and infection
Viruses are typically described as tiny, perfectly geometric shells that pack genetic material with mathematical precision, ...
Influenza A virus particles strategically adapt their shape -- to become either spheres or larger filaments -- to favor their ability to infect cells depending on environmental conditions, according ...
A new study shows how one of Ebola virus's key proteins, VP40, uses molecular triggers in the human cell to transform itself into different tools for different jobs. The human genome contains the ...
(Nanowerk News) Bioengineers have found a way to program the size and shape of virus particles by combining viral protein building blocks and templates made from DNA. The resulting nanostructures ...

Applying a magnetic field to rod-like viruses induces them to form disks of tunable shape and size
Seeking to mimic self-assembly processes that occur naturally, RIKEN researchers have demonstrated that the self-assembly of rod-shaped viruses can be controlled by applying a magnetic field. This ...
