Viral assembly: a molecular modeling perspective
Literature Information
Anton S. Petrov, Batsal Devkota, Mustafa Burak Boz
Icosahedral viruses are among the smallest and simplest of biological systems. The investigation of their structures represented the first step toward the establishment of molecular biophysics, over half a century ago. Many research groups are now pursuing investigations of viral assembly, a process that could offer new opportunities for the design of antiviral drugs and novel nanoparticles. A variety of experimental, theoretical and computational methods have been brought to bear on the study of virus structure and assembly. In this Perspective we review the contributions of theoretical and computational approaches to our understanding of the structure, energetics, thermodynamics and assembly of DNA bacteriophage and single-stranded icosahedral RNA viruses.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
