Abstract excerpt

The tailspike protein of bacteriophage P22 assembles with mature capsids during the final reaction in phage morphogenesis. The gene 9 mutation hmH3034 synthesizes a tailspike protein with a change at amino acid 100 from Asp to Asn. This mutant form of trimeric tailspike protein fails to assemble...
