There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Engineered Virus-Like Particles for Biomedicine and Catalysis
Biochemistry Division Seminar Series
Virus-like particles represent robust and easily accessible nanoscale scaffolds for a variety of applications in chemistry, molecular biology, and materials science. Our work in recent years has focused on the particle derived from the bacteriophage Qb capsid as a model system. Methods for the chemical and genetic derivatization of the coat protein, its targeting to particular cell types, and its use as a container for enzymes will be described.
