Abstract excerpt
Like most bacteriophages, phi X174 transfers its DNA through the cell wall, leaving an empty capsid on the cell surface. The process begins with ejection of the genome at its host-receptor site. The rate of this event can be measured, so detailed structure/function analysis of the mechanism is po...
