The effect of genome length on ejection forces in bacteriophage lambda
Paul Grayson, Alex Evilevitch, Mandar M. Inamdar +4
A variety of viruses tightly pack their genetic material into protein capsids that are barely large enough to enclose the genome. In particular, in bacteriophages, forces as high a…
