Nanoengineering artificial lipid envelopes around adenovirus by self-assembly.
We have developed a novel, reproducible, and facile methodology for the construction of artificial lipid envelopes for adenoviruses (Ad) by self-assembly of lipid molecules around the viral capsid. No alteration of the viral genome or conjugation surface chemistry at the virus capsid was necessary, therefore difficulties in production and purification associated with generating most surface-mod...
متن کاملSelf-assembly of thin plates from micrococcal nuclease-digested chromatin of metaphase chromosomes.
The three-dimensional organization of the enormously long DNA molecules packaged within metaphase chromosomes has been one of the most elusive problems in structural biology. Chromosomal DNA is associated with histones and different structural models consider that the resulting long chromatin fibers are folded forming loops or more irregular three-dimensional networks. Here, we report that frag...
متن کاملSelf - assembly of magnetic
We use Monte Carlo and quaternion molecular dynamics simulations to study the self-assembly of intriguing structures which form in colloidal sus-pensions of small magnetite particles. We show that the only stable isomers with few particles, a ring and a chain, can be eeciently interconverted using a magnetizable tip. We propose to use the oscillating dipole eld of the tip to locally anneal the ...
متن کاملLatest Insights on Adenovirus Structure and Assembly
Adenovirus (AdV) capsid organization is considerably complex, not only because of its large size (~950 Å) and triangulation number (pseudo T = 25), but also because it contains four types of minor proteins in specialized locations modulating the quasi-equivalent icosahedral interactions. Up until 2009, only its major components (hexon, penton, and fiber) had separately been described in atomic ...
متن کاملSelf-Assembly and Self-Construction
The spontaneous increase of complexity in nature from the formation of elements, followed by the formation of compounds, both inorganic and organic, leading to the emergence of life -from a single cell to multi-cellular organisms -and the later formation of communities followed by the emergence of new technologies where complex structures are created by a humans is probably the most important p...
