Assemble a virus : A chemical strategy to de novo design “tailor‐made” viruslike nanocapsules was developed (see picture). 24‐mer β‐annulus peptides of the tomato bushy stunt virus (TBSV) spontaneously self‐assemble into hollow nanocapsules with a size of 30–50 nm. The hollow structure of the assemblies was clearly revealed by small‐angle X‐ray scattering (SAXS).
