| structural analysis of a synechococcus myovirus s-cam4 and infected cells by atomic force microscopy. | a tailed cyanophage, s-cam4 (family myoviridae) from california coastal waters that infects synechococcus, was characterized by atomic force microscopy. capsomeric clusters of protein composing the 85 nm diameter icosahedral head were resolved and indicated a triangulation number of t=16. the 140 nm tail assembly, exhibiting a helical appearance with a 13 nm pitch, was seen in both extended and contracted states, the latter exposing the injection tube within. attached below the base plate were s ... | 2010 | 20739271 |
