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 …

Viruses are nanosized, genome-filled protein containers with remarkable thermodynamic
and mechanical properties. They form by spontaneous self-assembly inside the crowded …

Exploring recent developments in the field, Coarse-Graining of Condensed Phase and
Biomolecular Systems examines systematic ways of constructing coarse-grained …

The complexity of biological, social, and engineering networks makes it desirable to find
natural partitions into clusters (or communities) that can provide insight into the structure of …

We develop a class of models with which we simulate the assembly of particles into T1
capsidlike objects using Newtonian dynamics. By simulating assembly for many different …

We systematically study the design of simple patchy sphere models that reversibly self-
assemble into monodisperse icosahedral clusters. We find that the optimal patch width is a …

Self-assembly at submicroscopic scales is an important but little understood phenomenon. A
prominent example is virus capsid growth, whose underlying behavior can be modeled …

Various coarse graining schemes have been proposed to speed up computer simulations of
the motion within large biomolecules, which can contain hundreds of thousands of atoms …

Directed self-assembly of designed viral capsids holds significant potential for applications
in materials science and medicine. However, the complexity of preparing these systems for …

Computational modeling of assembly is challenging for many systems, because their
timescales can vastly exceed those accessible to simulations. This article describes the …
