许多双链 DNA 噬菌体和病毒使用专门的 ATP 驱动的分子机器将其基因组包装到紧密限制的原衣壳中。在过去的十年中,单分子方法——特别是光镊——为我们理解这一非凡过程做出了关键贡献。在本章中,我们回顾了这些进展以及它们对三种噬菌体(phi 29、lambda 和 T4)包装机制的见解。
Many double-stranded DNA bacteriophages and viruses use specialized ATP-driven molecular machines to package their genomes into tightly confined procapsid shells. Over the last decade, single-molecule approaches - and in particular, optical tweezers - have made key contributions to our understanding of this remarkable process. In this chapter, we review these advances and the insights they have provided on the packaging mechanisms of three bacteriophages: phi 29, lambda, and T4.
