Mechanism of Viral DNA Packaging in Phage T4 Using Single-Molecule Fluorescence Approaches

In all tailed phages, the packaging of the double-stranded genome into the head by a terminase motor complex is an essential step in virion formation. Despite extensive research, there are still major gaps in the understanding of this highly dynamic process and the mechanisms responsible for DNA tra...
