By now everyone probably knows how interested I am in using nanoscale assemblies for targeting cancer and other diseases. This particular paper is particularly fascinating as it uses a biological assembly as a model for a nanoengineered system. There are many applications here and number of lessons to be learned.
This is also a fascinating computational problem as it would require a true multi-scale modeling approach, incorporating molecular modeling, mesoscale modeling, continuum-scale modeling, informatics and an excellent visualization framework.
On a side note .. publicly available papers are such a wonderful thing.
