Abstract excerpt
Penetration of wild-type T7 DNA into the host cell occurs in two steps. The phage particle ejects a few hundred base pairs of the left end of the genome into the host. Translocation of the remainder of the DNA is then coupled to transcription. In a normal infection, transcription-coupled transloc...
