In Vitro Packaging of Satellite Phage P4 DNA

RESUMO
Satellite phage P4 directs the capsid proteins of its helper phage, P2, to form a head which is only one-third the size of the normal P2 head. The P2 head contains a genome of molecular weight 22 × 106, while the small P4 head contains a genome with a molecular weight of only 7 × 106. We have used in vitro DNA packaging to test whether P2 and P4 phage head sizes are determined by DNA size.
