مستخلص: Although virus capsids appear as rigid, symmetric particles in experimentally determined structures; biochemical studies suggest a significant degree of structural flexibility in the particles. We carried out all-atom simulations on the icosahedral capsid of an insect virus, Flock House Virus, which show intriguing differences in the degree of flexibility of quasi-equivalent capsid subunits consistent with previously described biological behaviour. The flexibility of all the β and γ subunits of the protein and RNA fragments is analysed and compared. Both γ A subunit and RNA fragment exhibit higher flexibility than the γ B and γ C subunits. The capsid shell is permeable to the bidirectional movement of water molecules, and the movement is heavily influenced by the geometry of the capsid shell along specific symmetry axes. In comparison to the symmetry axes along I5 and I3, the I2 axis exhibits a slightly higher water content. This enriched water environment along I2 could play a pivotal role in facilitating the structural transitions necessary for RNA release, shedding some light on the intricate and dynamic processes underlying the viral life cycle. Our study suggests that the physical characterization of whole virus capsids is the key to identifying biologically relevant transition states in the virus life cycle and understanding the basis of virus infectivity.
