Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the tailspike gene (gene 9) of Salmonella typhimurium phage P22 have been used to identify amino acid interactions during the folding of a polypeptide chain. Since temperature-sensitive folding (tsf) mutations cause folding defects in the P22 tailspike polypeptide chain, it is likely that mutants derived from these and correcting the original tsf defects (second-site intragenic suppressors) identify...
