Experimental Test of Connector Rotation during DNA Packaging into Bacteriophage ϕ29 Capsids

The bacteriophage ϕ29 generates large forces to compact its double-stranded DNA genome into a protein capsid by means of a portal motor complex. Several mechanical models for the generation of these high forces by the motor complex predict coupling of DNA translocation to rotation of the head-tail c...
