Thermodynamic Treatment of Bacteriophage T4B Adsorption Kinetics

Rustem I Gamow 1,1
PMCID: PMC375843  PMID: 4897123

Abstract

The activation energy was measured for the reaction of inactive phage becoming active in the presence and in the absence of l-tryptophan and was found to be about 50% lower in the former case.
