摘要: Many spherical viruses encapsulate their genomes in protein shells with icosahedral symmetry. This process is spontaneous and driven by electrostatic interactions between positive domains on the virus coat proteins negative genomes. We model effect of nonuniform charge distribution from shell instead using a mean-field theory. find that this strongly affects optimal genome length it can explain experimentally observed phenomenon overcharging viruslike particles.
