Journal ArticleDOI
Pressure/temperature phase diagrams and superlattices of organically functionalized metal nanocrystal monolayers: the influence of particle size, size distribution, and surface passivant
TL;DR: The phase behavior of organically passivated 20−75 A diameter Ag and Au nanocrystals was investigated by examining surface−area isotherms of Langmuir monolayers and transmission electron micrographs of LB films as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Osmotic pressure inhibition of DNA ejection from phage
TL;DR: The authors' experiments monitor directly a dramatic decrease of the stress inside the unopened phage capsid upon addition of polyvalent cations to the host solution, in agreement with many recent theories of DNA interactions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nanoindentation studies of full and empty viral capsids and the effects of capsid protein mutations on elasticity and strength.

TL;DR: The elastic properties of capsids of the cowpea chlorotic mottle virus have been examined by nanoindentation measurements with an atomic force microscope and calculations capture the features of the reversible indentation region and allow Young's moduli and relative strengths to be estimated for the empty capsids.
Journal ArticleDOI
Growth of breath figures.
TL;DR: The pattern for water on glass was studied by direct observation and light scattering as a function of the contact angle, flux, degree of supersaturation, and time, and the growth process is self-similar.
Journal ArticleDOI
Packaging of a Polymer by a Viral Capsid: The Interplay between Polymer Length and Capsid Size
TL;DR: It is suggested that the size of the encapsidated polymer cargo is the deciding factor for the selection of one distinct capsid size from several possible sizes with the same inherent symmetry.
