| Research Abstract |
The aim of this work is construction of minimal artificial virus that consists of synthetic short DNA and peptide nanocapsule (synthetic viral capsid). The important results are as follows: 1) We succeeded in construction of artificial virus that encapsulated M13 phage DNA in the beta-annulus peptide nanocapsule. 2) DNA that encoded beta-annulus peptide was designed, but the objective peptide could not be obtained by cell-free protein synthesis system. 3) DNA-modified artificial viral capsid was able to be constructed by self-assembly of DNA-beta-annulus peptide conjugate.
