We all know that viruses mutates as per the anti virul drugs applied on it. So if we use nanoparticles same as their size to destroy them in vivo is it possible? As the nanoparticles will not contain any anti virul drugs so there is no question of virus mutation.

I do not have heard about free nano particles without drugs or etc can be damaged viruses, but you can use anti sense nucleic acids against very constant region gene with gold nano particles.
If we use no drug nano particle instead we use hairy gold nanoparticles or some modified nanoparticles which could bind with the virus receptors and apply pressure on it to destroy it? Is it possible?
I am not sure about that you said.
Every viruses has different cycle in a cell, but maybe you can cause of unpacking them.
It is very hard to say such issues. At list use molecular dynamic or other software to check your theory first.
Yes, we did destroy the plant virus in vitro and in Vevo using GOLD NANOPARTICLES.
