Fluctuating Nonlinear Spring Model of Mechanical Deformation of Biological Particles.

The mechanical properties of virus capsids correlate with local conformational dynamics in the capsid structure. They also reflect the required stability needed to withstand high internal pressures generated upon genome loading and contribute to the success of important events in viral infectivity,...
