Molecular Biology of Bacteriophage T4

Download or read book Molecular Biology of Bacteriophage T4 written by Jim D. Karam and published by ASM Press. This book was released on 1994 with total page 648 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new text highlights the value of this biological system as a research and teaching tool. The book is a sequel to the 1983 edition and is organized into 6 major sections: DNA metabolism, regulation of gene expression, morphogenesis, structure of selected proteins, host–phage interactions, and laboratory experiments in T4 molecular genetics. Since T4 has played a central role in the development of molecular biology as an academic discipline, the themes presented in this book provide a framework for designing graduate and undergraduate courses in prokaryotic genetics and biochemistry.
