Bacteriophage SPO1 structure and morphogenesis. II. Head structure and DNA size.

The capsid of bacteriophage SPO1 is icosahedral, and the subunit arrangement on the 87-nm-diameter head suggests the triangulation number T = 16. The major capsid protein (45,700 daltons) is cleaved from a 47,700-dalton precursor. Tubular heads (polyheads) are produced by mutations in genes 5 and 8...
