A model is presented for the self-assembly and operation of a bacteriophage comparable with the T4 bacteriophage that infects Escherichia coli. The model treats protein molecules as simple units obeying the principle free energy minimization, and exhibiting the properties of quasi-equivalence and conformational switching. A computer program incorporating the model has been developed. The results of simulation using this program are presented.
本文提出了一种与感染大肠杆菌的T4噬菌体类似的噬菌体自组装和运行模型。该模型将蛋白质分子视为遵循自由能最小化原则的简单单元,并展现出准等价和构象转换的特性。已开发出一个包含该模型的计算机程序,并给出了使用此程序的模拟结果。
