Research Interest: to study the dynamics of bacteriophage λ genome translocation using artificial systems
Packing DNA in Bacteriophage
Bacteriophage lambda, shown in the electron micrograph, consists of a protein capsid 30 nm in radius that has a long cylindrical tail. Its genome, double stranded (ds) DNA, is protected by the capsid from attack by nuclease enzymes that would break it down into its nucleotides and therefore lose the genetic information needed to replicate the phage.
