Title: Crystallization of bacteriophage MS2. Author: Min Jou W, Raeymaekers A, Fiers W. Journal: Eur J Biochem; 1979 Dec 17; 102(2):589-94. PubMed ID: 393512. Abstract: Crystals of bacteriophage MS2 have been obtained by slowly cooling a 1% virus solution from 23 degrees C to 0 degrees C in the presence of poly(ethylene glycol) 6000. The crystals were colorless, needle-like, anisotropic and very fragile. Electron microscopic observation of the crystals revealed a two-dimensional lattice of particles with RNA phage morphology and dimensions. Preliminary X-ray examination of the crystals confirmed their viral nature.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
