Simple model for the kinetics of packaging of DNA into a capsid against an external force.

K P Santo1, K L Sebastian.   

Abstract

We propose a simple model for the kinetics of packaging of viral DNA into a capsid against an external force trying to prevent it. The model leads to a Butler-Volmer-type dependence of the rate of packaging on the pulling force F.
