Photodynamic inactivation of bacteriophage and its inhibition.
The photosensitizing action of dyes on biological systems is commonly designated as "photodynamic action." The subject has been well summarized in a monograph by Blum (1941). Earlier studies on photodynamic inactivation of bacteriophages were made by Clifton (1931), and by Perdrau and Todd (1933). Burnet (1933) discovered that the relative sensitivities of phage strains to photodynamic inactiva...
متن کاملConformations of the single-stranded DNA of bacteriophage M13.
At least two conformations of M13 single-stranded DNA have been demonstrated by measuring differences in sedimentation coefficient and by direct visualization in the electron microscope. Which form is obtained from infected cells and/or intact phage depends on the pH, ionic strength, and temperature. The slower-sedimenting form can be converted to the faster-sedimenting, single-stranded form by...
متن کاملMechanism of inactivation of bacteriophage MS2 containing single-stranded RNA by ascorbic acid.
The mechanism of inactivation of a single-stranded RNA phage, MS2, by AsA was investigated as a part of the studies on the mechanism of inactivation of viruses by AsA. Investigations on the effects of oxygen, oxidizing or reducing agents, metals or chelating agents, and free radical scavengers on the inactivation of the RNA phage by AsA indicated that the free radical intermediates formed durin...
متن کاملA single-stranded DNA-binding protein of bacteriophage T7 defective in DNA annealing.
The annealing of complementary strands of DNA is a vital step during the process of DNA replication, recombination, and repair. In bacteriophage T7-infected cells, the product of viral gene 2.5, a single-stranded DNA-binding protein, performs this function. We have identified a single amino acid residue in gene 2.5 protein, arginine 82, that is critical for its DNA annealing activity. Expressio...
متن کاملInteraction of bacteriophage T4 and T7 single-stranded DNA-binding proteins with DNA.
Bacteriophages T4 and T7 are well-studied model replication systems, which have allowed researchers to determine the roles of many proteins central to DNA replication, recombination and repair. Here we summarize and discuss the results from two recently developed single-molecule methods to determine the salt-dependent DNA-binding kinetics and thermodynamics of the single-stranded DNA (ssDNA)-bi...
