The construction of physical models for virus capsids that utilize the simple elastic network description for strain induced by local structural distortions is reviewed. Following, a brief overview of normal mode methods and computational schemes that yield information regarding the dynamics of viral capsids and their response to structural perturbations is given. Finally, these approaches will be illustrated via applications to the swelling of several viruses, with attention focused on the similarities and differences in the pathways of conformational distortions that arise for capsids with different quasi-symmetry T numbers. Examples to be discussed include a T 1⁄4 3 virus (CCMV), a capsid displaying T 1⁄4 4 quasi-symmetry (NwV) and a T 1⁄4 7 capsid (HK97).
