The influence of ligand charge and length on the assembly of Brome mosaic virus derived virus-like particles with magnetic core
Virus-like particles (VLPs) have sparked a great interest in the field of nanobiotechnology and nanomedicine.The introduction of superparamagnetic nanoparticles (SPIONs) as a core, provides potential use of VLPs in the hyperthermia therapy, MRI contrast agents and magnetically-powered delivery agents.Magnetite NPs also provide a significant improve
