Model of chemical capsid assembly from 12 molecules of C30H15O5N5, a pentagonally shaped molecule, shown to scale in front of an assembling poliovirus forming a capsid with the same icosahedral symmetry. The red and blue glowing volumes around the incomplete viral and chemical capsids represent the complementary electrostatic potential of the assembling parts.
