Self-assembly of tobacco mosaic virus at oil/water interfaces
The oil/water interfacial assembly of tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) has been studied in situ by tensiometry and small-angle X-ray and neutron scattering (SAXS and SANS). TMV showed different orientations at the perfluorodecalin/water interface, depending on the initial TMV concentration in the aqueous...

| Zusammenfassung: | The oil/water interfacial assembly of tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) has been studied in situ by tensiometry and small-angle X-ray and neutron scattering (SAXS and SANS). TMV showed different orientations at the perfluorodecalin/water interface, depending on the initial TMV concentration in the aqueous phase. At low TMV concentration, the rods oriented parallel to the interface, mediating the interfacial interactions at the greatest extent per particle. At high TMV concentrations, the rods were oriented normal to the interface, mediating the interfacial interactions and also neutralizing inter-rod electrostatic repulsion. We found that the inter-rod repulsive forces between TMVs dominated the in-plane packing, which was strongly affected by the ionic strength and the bulk solution but not by the pH in the range of pH = 6-8 |
