By arranging elastic protein subunits in a perfectly symmetrical way, the virus creates a shell that is both very stable and requires the fewest building blocks. This design gives maximum protection ...
They showed that construction begins with the protein shell, into which enzymes needed for ethanolamine breakdown are subsequently packed. A protein called EutQ was found to play a critical role in ...
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 ...
