Abstract: Many viral capsids are icosahedral-like polyhedra whose folding involves a RNA-tethered string of identical proteinaceous capsomeres. The initial configuration of such tethered ccapsomeres can be represented as Dürer nets which are planar graphs of cuts of polyhedra. While there are only… read more here.
