A new model for the adsorption of bacteriophage P22 to its host Salmonella typhimurium is proposed. The main feature of this model is that only three of the six tail proteins found on the mature phage function during adsorption. This model explains why there is a difference in the specific endoglycosidase activity of the tail protein of mature virions as opposed to unattached tail protein. It also accounts for the cubic relationship between p.f.u. and tail protein concentration in in vitro assembly experiments.
提出了一种噬菌体P22吸附其宿主鼠伤寒沙门氏菌的新模型。该模型的主要特点是，在成熟噬菌体上发现的六种尾部蛋白中，只有三种在吸附过程中起作用。该模型解释了为什么成熟病毒粒子的尾部蛋白与未附着的尾部蛋白的特异性内切糖苷酶活性存在差异。它还解释了体外组装实验中噬菌斑形成单位（p.f.u.）与尾部蛋白浓度之间的立方关系。
