Incidence of Phage Capsid Organization on the Resistance to High Energy Proton Beams

Incidence of Phage Capsid Organization on the Resistance to High Energy Proton Beams

The helical geometry of virus capsid allows simple self-assembly of identical protein subunits with a low request of free energy and a similar spiral path to virus nucleic acid. Consequently, small variations in protein subunits can affect the stability of the entire phage particle. Previously, we o...
