Schematic illustration of the experiment. The phi29 genome is packaged by the portal motor complex into the viral procapsid (left). After packaging is completed (middle) the DNA is ejected by heating to 50°C (right). DNase is added to digest the DNA as it is ejected. External osmotic pressure is applied by adding an osmolyte, PEG 8000, which does not permeate the capsid.
