Viral electrostatics

Speaker:

Abstract

I will present several models of the effects of electrostatic interactions on viruses. Starting from a discussion of charge distribution and the pertaining charge regulation description, I will explore in detail several examples of the role of charge-charge interactions for capsid stability as well as the interactions between the capsid proteins and the compactified genetic cargo.
