Forces from the Portal Govern the Late-Stage DNA Transport in a Viral DNA Packaging Nanomotor

In the Phi29 bacteriophage, the DNA packaging nanomotor packs its double-stranded DNA genome into the virus capsid. At the late stage of DNA packaging, the negatively charged genome is increasingly compacted at a higher density in the capsid with a higher internal pressure. During the process, two D...
