They therefore comprise a unique bridge between chemistry and biology. We have shown that several icosahedral viruses participate in predictable (or at least explainable) chemical reactions, with reactivity programmed by genetic changes to the coat protein structure. Techniques for virus manipulation, chemical conjugation, and directed packaging will be described, along with applications to biological targets involving polyvalent binding.\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EFor more information contact Prof. Laren Tolbert (404 894-4093).\n\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"Prof. M.
