Area of Science:

  • Molecular biology
  • Virology
  • Biochemistry

Background:

  • Bacteriophage fd is a well-studied model organism.
  • Mutagenesis is a key tool for understanding gene function.
  • Protein structure and function are determined by amino acid composition.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To isolate and characterize spontaneous and chemically induced mutants of bacteriophage fd.
  • To investigate alterations in the bacteriophage fd coat protein (B-protein) due to mutagenesis.

Main Methods:

  • Isolation of bacteriophage fd mutants using free flow electrophoresis.
  • Induction of mutants using chemical mutagens (2.7-diaminofluorene and proflavin).
  • Amino acid analysis of wild-type and mutant coat proteins.
