Design of a large-scale virus capsid model for educational use
A foot-scale model of an icosahedral virus capsid, as opposed to a helical capsid shape, was modeled in preparation for manufacture for educational use. We chose to model the icosahedral virus capsid for manufacture because understanding the structure of this type of capsid is of biological …

Design and manufacturing of a physical model of an icosahedral virus capsid
… begins with a study of the virus and its capsid structure. It studies the icosahedral structure and the theory of quasi-equivalence, which were favored by viruses throughout their evolution. We then look into the manufacturing of the model capsid which was composed of three major components; …

Structure and Dynamics in Ligand-Protected and Supported Metal Nanoparticles
… fundamental understandings of nanoparticle structure. Analysis of the x-ray absorption spectra provides structural information with 0.001 A precision. Quantitative high-angle annular dark field scanning transmission electron microscopy (HAADF-STEM) measurements characterize metal clusters …

Competitive Nucleation in Nanoclusters
… the same initial conditions, freeze to different structures through a competitive process. Understanding the mechanism of nucleation requires the knowledge of the reaction coordinate, which consists of a set of variables that accurately describe the formation of the critical nucleus. In classical …

Animal and Plant Viruses with Double-Stranded Ribonucleic Acid
… biological characteristics of the virus to the structure of its RNA. Reoviruses are medium-sized, icosahedral viruses with a diameter of 75 mμ, and they contain RNA. The protein coat of the virus is composed of either 5- or 6-sided prismatic subunits, 92 in all. Each structural subunit of the …
