Viral capsid proteins have the remarkable ability to self-assemble around a cargo core, whether their genome, a polyelectrolyte or an inorganic nanoparticle. Although the equilibrium properties of gold nanoparticles encapsulated in viral capsids have been broadly investigated, little is known about the kinetic pathways leading to their assembly. Through the combination of time-resolved absorbance spectroscopy and small-angle x-ray scattering, we elucidate a three-step mechanism with timescales ranging from hundred milliseconds to hours. By modeling the scattering intensities, we deduce the average structure and the time evolution of transient, amorphous aggregates held in a matrix of capsid proteins. The biocompatibility of metal nanoparticles induced by adsorbed proteins is of great importance for their use in biomedicine, and the reported results will help better understand the formation process.
