Chemically modified viruses: principles and applications

Kristopher J Koudelka et al. Curr Opin Chem Biol. 2010 Dec.

Abstract

The search for novel molecular materials has focused on viruses as natural nanomaterials. Historically studied for their effects as pathogens, recent advances have incorporated viruses as substrates for chemical modification, materials development, and therapeutic design. Here we will discuss recent advances in chemical strategies for modifying viruses, and the applications of these technologies.
