Bi-Symmetric Polyhedral Cages with Maximally Connected Faces and Small Holes
Polyhedral cages (p-cages) describe the geometry of some families of artificial protein cages. We identify the p-cages made out of families of equivalent polygonal faces such that the faces of one family have five neighbors and P1 edges, while those of the other family have six neighbors and P2 edges. We restrict ourselves to polyhedral cages where the holes are adjacent to four faces at most. We characterize all p-cages with a deformation of the faces, compared to regular polygons, not exceeding 10%.
