Abstract excerpt
The classic publication by Caspar and Klug in 1962 [Physical principles in the construction of regular viruses. Cold Spring Harbor Symp. Quant. Biol. 27:1-24.] has formed the basis of much research on virus assembly. Caspar and Klug predicted that a single virus morphological unit could form a two dimensional lattice composed of 6-fold arrays (primitive plane), a family of icosahedra of increasing triangulation...
