Abstract
The gene 5 protein, coded for by the bacteriophage fd, forms a complex with single stranded fd-DNA such that one gene 5 protein monomer interacts with four bases. Exposure of this complex to ultraviolet light results in the formation of covalent bonds between 25-30% of the gene 5 protein monomers which are bound to the DNA. In contrast, when the intact fd virion, which is a complex of coat protein and DNA, was exposed to ultraviolet irradiation, no detectable protein DNA cross-links were found.Entities:
