Design of viral coat protein C^P₄-S^Q_n-B^K12, with n = 10. C^P₄ is an N-terminal ~400-residue hydrophilic random coil block (green), S^Q₁₀ constitutes the self-assembly block (pink) and is a tenfold repetition of the octapeptide (GA)₃GQ, and B^K12 is the C-terminal dodecalysine DNA-binding block (red).
