Self-assembly approaches to nanomaterial encapsulation in viral protein cages.
A perspective on abiotic material encapsulation inside virus capsids is provided. The emphasis is on the physical principles of virus assembly relevant to packaging, strategies for encapsulation and capsid modification, and on emerging applications.
متن کاملCementing Material on Mechanical Property of Calcareous Sand
It is difficult to obtain high quality samples of natural material covering a range of densities and degree of cementation, so study on the sample preparation techniques with similar mechanical properties of natural samples are very important. Experiments were carried out to study the effects of cementation of different materials on the mechanical properties of calcareous sand, e.g., the effect...
متن کاملNanoparticle-templated assembly of viral protein cages.
Self-assembly of regular protein surfaces around nanoparticle templates provides a new class of hybrid biomaterials with potential applications in medical imaging and in bioanalytical sensing. We report here the first example of efficiently self-assembled virus-like particles (VLPs) having a brome mosaic virus protein coat and a functionalized gold core. The present study indicates that functio...
متن کاملSelf-stabilization of extra dimensions
We show that the problem of stabilization of extra dimensions in Kaluza-Klein type cosmology may be solved in a theory of gravity involving high-order curvature invariants. The method suggested (employing a 3 slow-change approximation) can work with rather a general form of the gravitational action. As examples, we consider pure gravity with Lagrangians quadratic and cubic in the scalar curvatu...
متن کاملSpinal Decompression and Stabilization: Expandable PLIF Cages over TLIF Cages for Spinal Fusion
Study design: An in vitro biomechanical flexibility and fatigue test comparing two different lumbar interbody fusion cages using mono segmental lumbar spine specimens. Objective: To investigate and compare the stabilizing effect of a transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) cage against an expandable posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) cage. Method: Six intact human lumbar spine segme...
