Figure 6. Time evolution of assembly reactions with B-21 in 1 M NaCl.

Figure 6.

(a) Variation of the abundance of T = 4 capsids over the initial 1.5–21.5 min of assembly for different B-21 to Cp149 dimer ratios in 1 M NaCl. Assembly intermediates rearrange over time and form T =4 capsids. The change is more dramatic in the initial minutes of assembly. (b) Pulse-amplitude histograms of assembly products for a 40:1 ratio of B-21 to Cp149 dimer in 1 M NaCl after the initial 1.5–21.5 min and 2 days of reaction. Intermediates rearrange and form T = 4 capsids and aggregates, but a significant number of intermediate species remains remarkably stable at 1 M NaCl. Pulse amplitudes are normalized to a T = 4 capsid.
