Abstract excerpt
DNA maturation in bacteriophage lambda is the process by which the concatemeric precursor DNA is cleaved at sites called cos to generate mature lambda DNA molecules. These DNA molecules are then packaged into procapsids, the empty capsid precursors. The enzyme that catalyses these events is lambda DNA terminase. It is composed of two subunits, made of 181 and 641 amino acids, the products of genes Nu1 and A,...
