Yep, it sounds like a (semi?)unique structure is required for each target virus.
> A specific combination of nucleotides is first modeled in simulation to be the correct size to handle the target virus
- silvester23 5y agoFrom the article: > Dietz said the interior of the shells were coated with "antibodies specific for the hepatitis-B virus. You can think of the shells as a generic platform; depending on your selection of inner coatings, you can 'program' them to be specific for a user-defined target virus."
- chwzr 5y agofor my understanding its the combination of shell size and coating which does the targeting.
