    "abstract": "A big class of viruses self-assemble from a large number of identical capsid\nproteins with long flexible N-terminal tails and ss RNA. We study the role of\nthe strong Coulomb interaction of positive N-terminal tails with ss RNA in the\nkinetics of the in vitro virus self-assembly. Capsid proteins stick to\nunassembled chain of ss RNA (which we call \"antenna\") and slide on it towards\nthe assembly site. We show that at excess of capsid proteins such\none-dimensional diffusion accelerates self-assembly more than ten times. On the\nother hand at excess of ss RNA, antenna slows self-assembly down. Several\nexperiments are proposed to verify the role of ss RNA antenna.",
