Structural and thermodynamic principles of viral packaging.
Packaging of genetic material inside a capsid is one of the major processes in the lifecycle of bacteriophages. To establish the basic principles of packing double-stranded DNA into a phage, we present a low-resolution model of bacteriophage varphi29 and report simulations of DNA packaging. The simulations show excellent agreement with available experimental data, including the forces of packag...
متن کاملStructural and thermodynamic properties of Alumina
We have investigated the electronic structure and thermodynamic properties of supercell of the -Al2O3 by first-principles calculation in framework of density functional theory (DFT) and full potential linearized augmented plane wave (FP-LAPW) with generalized gradient approximation (GGA) and by quasi-harmonic Debye model. Our calculated value for direct band gap of α-Al2O3 is 7.2 eV which i...
متن کاملStructural, vibrational and thermodynamic properties of Mg2SiO4 and MgSiO3 minerals from first-principles simulations
In this paper we report a computational study of the structural and vibrational properties of the Mg-end members forsterite, wadsleyite and ringwoodite of Mg2SiO4, and akimotoite, majorite and the perovskite phase of MgSiO3. Our calculations have been carried out in the framework of Density Functional Theory (DFT) using a plane wave basis set and the Projector-augmented Wave (PAW) method to acc...
متن کاملStructural, vibrational and thermodynamic properties of carbon allotropes from first-principles: diamond, graphite, and nanotubes
The structural, dynamical, and thermodynamic properties of different carbon allotropes are computed using a combination of ab-initio methods: density-functional theory for total-energy calculations and density-functional perturbation theory for lattice dynamics. For diamond, graphite, graphene, and armchair or zigzag singlewalled nanotubes we first calculate the ground-state properties: lattice...
