First atom-level structure of packaged viral genome reveals new properties and dynamics

A computational model of the more than 26 million atoms in a DNA-packed viral capsid expands our understanding of virus structure and DNA dynamics‚ insights that could provide new research avenues and drug targets‚ University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign researchers report in the journal Nature.
