Abstract excerpt
Some mutations in the major capsid protein (gpE) of lambda phage can alter the size and shape of the head shell or block the pathway of head maturation. Previous studies on the classification of such mutants showed that there are at least five functional sites on the gpE molecule. In this study, we determined the amino acid exchanges by DNA sequencing to elucidate the molecular design of the form-determining...
