Most viruses use a hollow protein shell, the capsid, to enclose the viral genome. Virus
capsids are large, symmetric oligomers made of many copies of one or a few types of protein …

In recent decades, the development of plant virology and genetic engineering techniques
has resulted in the construction of plant virus-based vaccines for protection against different …

Viral nanoparticles (VNPs) are self-assembling, adaptable delivery systems for vaccines and
other therapeutic agents used in a variety of biomedical applications. The potential of …

UV spectra of viruses are complicated by overlap** protein and RNA absorbance and
light scattering. We describe and validate methodology for estimating RNA and protein …

This feature article describes recent progress in synthetic strategies to construct viral capsid-
