Computer Simulations of DNA Packing inside Bacteriophages: Elasticity, Electrostatics and Entropy

There is now a considerable literature on computer simulations of DNA packaging inside bacteriophage capsids. While most studies have reached a semiquantitative or qualitative agreement with single molecule packaging and ejection studies, several quantitative answers are to date still lacking, needi...
