Abstract excerpt
DNA translocation across the barriers of recipient cells is not well understood. Viral DNA delivery mechanisms offer an opportunity to obtain useful information in systems in which the process can be arrested to a number of stages. PRD1 is an icosahedral double-stranded (ds)DNA bacterial virus with an internal membrane. It is an atypical dsDNA phage, as any of the vertex spikes can be used for receptor...
