Before revision:  We predict and experimentally validate inter-atomic hotspot interactions between VP monomers that are important for the assembly of 3 types of icosahedral viral capsids: Adeno Associated Virus serotype 2 (AAV2) and Minute Virus of Mice (MVM), both T=1 single stranded DNA viruses, and Bromo Mosaic Virus (BMV), a T=3 single stranded RNA virus.
