Abstract
Following the discovery of an artificial protein cage with a paradoxical geometry, we extend the concept of homogeneous symmetric congruent equivalent near-miss polyhedral cages, for which all the faces are equivalent, and define bi-homogeneous symmetric polyhedral cages made of two different types of faces, where all the faces of a given type are equivalent. We parametrise the possible connectivity configurations for such cages, analytically derive p-cages that are regular, and numerically compute near-symmetric p-cages made of polygons with 6 to 18 edges and with deformation not exceeding 10%.
