Nanoparticles: Designer labels for virus coats

Isaac S. Carrico, Kent Kirshenbaum

Research output: Contribution to journalShort surveypeer-review

Abstract

Protein nanoparticles derived from viruses are commonly studied, but a new rod-shaped thermophilic virus isolated from acidic hot springs may yield another class of protein building blocks that are stable and can be selectively modified with diverse chemical groups.
