Structure and Physics of Viruses: An Integrated Guide

The second edition of this book provides a completely updated account of the structure, dynamics, and physics of viral particles: from the moment they emerge by self-assembly from viral components produced in the infected cell, through their extracellular stage, until they recognize and infect a new host cell and cease to exist as they lose their physical integrity to initiate a new infectious cycle.

New insights into the structure of viruses, their physical properties, and mechanisms of ac...
