AbstractViruses are nanoscale infectious agents which may be inactivated by heat treatment. Although heat inactivation is thought to be caused by the release of genetic material from the capsid, the thermally-induced structural changes in viruses are little known. Here we measured the heat-induced changes in the properties of T7 bacteriophage particles exposed to two-stage (65 °C and 80 °C) thermal effect by using AFM-based nanomechanical and topographical measurements. We found that exposure to 65 °C caused the release of genomic DNA due to the loss of the capsid tail which leads to a destabilization of the T7 particles. Further heating to 80 °C surprisingly led to an increase in mechanical stability due to partial denaturation of the capsomeric proteins kept within the global capsid arrangement.
