ATOMIC STRUCTURE OF SINGLE-STRANDED DNA BACTERIOPHAGE PHIX174 AND ITS FUNCTIONAL IMPLICATIONS

Atomic structure of single-stranded DNA bacteriophage phi X174 and its functional implications.

Structure Determination of the Bacteriophage PhiX174

Analysis of the Single-Stranded DNA Bacteriophage PhiX174 Refined at a Resolution of 3.0 A

Preliminary Investigation of the Phage PhiX174

Nucleoside Sequence of Bacteriophage PhiX174 DNA

PROTEIN (SUBUNIT OF BACTERIOPHAGE PHIX174)

THE NUCLEIC ACID RESIDUES ARE LABELLED A AND C. WHILE THE PYRIMIDINE AND PURINE NATURES OF THE RESIDUES WERE APPARENT, THE SIDE CHAINS COULD NOT ACTUALLY BE DISTINGUISHED. RESIDUE A 0 REFERS TO THE O3' OF THE PREVIOUS NUCLEIC ACID. THE NUCLEOTIDE BASES ARE UNREFINED AT PRESENT, BEING OBSERVED ONLY IN A DIFFERENCE MAP BETWEEN DATA FROM 114S AND 70S PARTICLES.

icosahedral asymmetric unit, std point frame

ALL 175 AMINO ACIDS OF GPG, ALL 426 AMINO ACIDS OF GPF AND ALL BUT THE FIRST AMINO ACID OF GPJ WERE BUILT. ALSO FOUR NUCLEOTIDES (A 0-4) WERE BUILT, ALTHOUGH THE CHOICE OF NUCLEOTIDE BASES WERE ARBITRARY.
