Structural Studies on Bacteriophage Portal Proteins [PDF]
, 2013 In tailed bacteriophages and evolutionarily related herpes viruses, the portal protein is a central component of the DNA packaging molecular motor, which translocates viral genomic DNA into a preformed procapsid.

Real-Time qPCR as a Method for Detection of Antibody-Neutralized Phage Particles
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017 The most common method for phage quantitation is the plaque assay, which relies on phage ability to infect bacteria. However, non-infective phage particles may preserve other biological properties; specifically, they may enter interactions with the ...
