Enhanced strength and stiffness of PEG-cross-linked AP205 VLPs. Mechanical properties of PEG-cross-linked AP205 VLPs, namely bPEG9-AP205 VLP, bPEG17-AP205 VLP, and bPEG25-AP205 VLP, and PEGylated but not cross-linked mPEG25-AP205 VLP investigated using AFM force–indentation spectroscopy. Distributions of height before and after indentation, maximal force/indentation in linear response regime, and stiffness/strain rate are shown together with mean ± standard deviation. The number (n) of VLPs in repeat measurements is indicated.
