Charge detection mass spectrometry (CDMS) is a single-particle technique where the
masses of individual ions are determined from simultaneous measurement of their mass-to …

Viruses are nanoscale entities containing a nucleic acid genome encased in a protein shell
called a capsid and in some cases are surrounded by a lipid bilayer membrane. This review …

The ongoing outbreak of COVID-19 has been a serious threat to human health worldwide.
The virus SARS-CoV-2 initiates its infection to the human body via the interaction of its spike …

Understanding protein self-assembly is important for many biological and industrial
processes. Proteins can self-assemble into crystals, filaments, gels, and other amorphous …

We review approaches aimed at deciphering the physical mechanisms responsible for viral
structure and assembly. We discuss the basic principles of condensed matter physics …

Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection is highly dependent on its capsid.
The capsid is a large container, made of∼ 1,300 proteins with altogether 4 million atoms …

Molecular self-assembly is pervasive in the formation of living and synthetic materials.
Knowledge gained from research into the principles of molecular self-assembly drives …

Self-assembly is a ubiquitous process in synthetic and biological systems, broadly defined
as the spontaneous organization of multiple subunits (macromolecules, particles, etc.) into …

Virus-like particles (VLPs) are increasingly used for vaccine development and drug delivery.
Assembly of VLPs from purified monomers in a chemically defined reaction is advantageous …

This review describes some important physical characteristics of the pathways (ie,
dynamical processes) by which molecular, nanoscale, and micrometer-scale self-assembly …
