病毒瓦片理论的动力学含义

Dynamical Implications of Viral Tiling Theory

K. M. ElSawy, A. Taormina, R. Twarock, L. Vaughan

摘要:

其蛋白质外壳(称为病毒衣壳)表现出二十面体对称性的病毒的卡斯帕-克鲁格分类最近已扩展到包括其衣壳蛋白仅以五聚体组织的病毒。这种方法,命名为“病毒平铺理论”,是受到准晶体理论的启发,其中非周期性彭罗斯平铺享有5倍和10倍的局部对称性。本文分析了在何种程度上,这种分类方法通知的病毒衣壳的动力学特性,特别是拉曼活性模式的振动,这可以通过实验观察到的模式。

英文摘要:

The Caspar-Klug classification of viruses whose protein shell, called viral capsid, exhibits icosahedral symmetry, has recently been extended to incorporate viruses whose capsid proteins are exclusively organised in pentamers. The approach, named `Viral Tiling Theory', is inspired by the theory of quasicrystals, where aperiodic Penrose tilings enjoy 5-fold and 10-fold local symmetries. This paper analyzes the extent to which this classification approach informs dynamical properties of the viral capsids, in particular the pattern of Raman active modes of vibrations, which can be observed experimentally.
