Biophysical properties of single rotavirus particles account for the functions of protein shells in a multilayered virus
The functions performed by the concentric shells of multilayered dsRNA viruses require specific protein interactions that can be directly explored through their mechanical properties. We studied the stiffness, breaking force, critical strain and mechanical fatigue of individual Triple, Double and Si...
