Structural puzzles in virology solved with an overarching icosahedral design principle

Viruses have evolved protein containers with a wide spectrum of icosahedral architectures but the geometric constraints defining these container designs remain to be understood. Here authors revisit the construction of icosahedral architectures using the Archimedean lattices that explain the outlier...
