Evidence for an electrostatic mechanism of force generation by the bacteriophage T4 DNA packaging motor
How viral packaging motors generate enormous forces to translocate DNA into viral capsids remains unknown. Recent structural studies of the bacteriophage T4 packaging motor have led to a proposed mechanism wherein the gp17 motor protein translocates DNA by transitioning between extended and compact...
