This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. Viral capsids are composed of multiples copies of one or a few coat protein subunits. Knowledge on the extent of interactions of a capsid protein subunit in native and sometimes in non-native capsid environments will be of importance in understanding the relationship between the protein building block and the capsid size and architecture. Furthermore, the extent of similarity in the bonding and interactions of the subunits would point to the quasi-equivalences of subunits in viral capsids. The knowledge on the relationship between the type of the protein and the resulting capsid would aid in designing new and novel capsids. The objective of this project is to come up with measures/properties that would quantify the extent to which a subunit is involved in the protein-protein interactions.

该子项目是利用 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目和 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为 研究中心，而研究中心不一定是研究者所在的机构。 病毒衣壳由一个或几个外壳蛋白亚基的多个拷贝组成。关于衣壳蛋白亚基在天然和有时在非天然衣壳环境中的相互作用程度的知识对于理解蛋白质构件与衣壳大小和结构之间的关系将是重要的。此外，亚基的键合和相互作用的相似程度将指向病毒衣壳中亚基的准等价性。关于蛋白质类型和所得衣壳之间关系的知识将有助于设计新的和新颖的衣壳。这个项目的目标是提出措施/属性，将量化的程度，一个亚基参与蛋白质-蛋白质相互作用。
