DNA ejection from bacteriophage: Towards a general behavior for osmotic-suppression experiments
(2007) In European Physical Journal E. Soft Matter 24(1). p.9-18- Abstract
- We present in this work in vitro measurements of the force ejecting DNA from two distinct bacteriophages (T5 and lambda using the osmotic-suppression technique. Our data are analyzed by revisiting the current theories of DNA packaging in spherical capsids. In particular we show that a simplified analytical model based on bending considerations only is able to account quantitatively for the experimental findings. Physical and biological consequences are discussed.
