first intact phage particles are assembled in T=?
Answers
Answer:
Bacteriophage T4 is one of the seven Escherichia coli phages (T1–T7, T for type), which, in 1944, were suggested by Delbruck and coworkers to be models for study by the phage community [1]. Of these phages, the 'T-even' phages (T2, T4 and T6) are similar in structure, antigenic response and genetics [2].

Bacteriophages have been a model system to study assembly processes for over half a century. Formation of infectious phage particles involves specific protein-protein and protein-nucleic acid interactions, as well as large conformational changes of assembly precursors. The sequence and molecular mechanisms of phage assembly have been elucidated by a variety of methods. Differences and similarities of assembly processes in several different groups of bacteriophages are discussed in this review. The general principles of phage assembly are applicable to many macromolecular complexes.
