Journal ArticleDOI
Metaphase chromosome structure. Involvement of topoisomerase II.
TL;DR: Several lines of evidence are presented that establish the identity of SC1 as topoisomerase II as well as some micrographs of histone-depleted chromosomes that provide evidence of the substructural organization of the scaffold.
Journal ArticleDOI
The metaphase scaffold is helically folded: Sister chromatids have predominantly opposite helical handedness
TL;DR: Surprisingly, sister chromatids have predominantly opposite helical handedness; that is, they are related by mirror symmetry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functions and properties related to the tail fibers of bacteriophage t4.

TL;DR: It is shown that adsorbability of T4 is regularly correlated with the extended state of the tail fibers, suggesting that in T4 fiber extension is a necessary condition for adsorption.
Journal ArticleDOI
Studies on the morphopoiesis of the head of phage T-even: I. Morphological, immunological, and genetic characterization of polyheads
TL;DR: In a lysate most polyheads are open, but a few are sealed at one or both ends; most open polyheads appear empty upon examination Serological studies show that polyheads and normal heads have at least one antigenic site in common.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the fine structure of normal and “Polymerized” tail sheath of phage T4
TL;DR: Evidence that polysheaths are aberrant assemblies of tail material in a structure identical with contracted sheath is presented, and a model for the sheath structure and its transition from the extended to the contracted form is proposed.
