Changes of assembly yields (a and b) and assembly time needed to reach half the equilibrium level (T₅₀) (c and d) with intracapsomer and intercapsomer binding rate constants. A fixed breaking rate constant of 1000 is used across all the simulation experiments. (a) Yield of final assembled 8-mer (cube) structures for the octamer model. (b) Yield of final assembled 60-mer structures (icosahedron) for the capsid model. (c) T₅₀ for the octamer model. (d) T₅₀ for the icosahedral capsid model.
