Brenner, Sydney (1927- ); Streisinger, G.; Horne, R. W.; Champe, S. P.; Barnett, L.; Benzer, Seymour (1921- ); and Rees, M. W. Structural components of bacteriophage. Offprint from J. Mol. Biol. 1 (1959). 281-292pp. 13 plates on 7 leaves. 254 x 172 mm. Without wrappers as issued. Fine.

First Separate Edition. "A procedure is described for the efficient disjoining of the even-numbered T bacteriophages into structural components. . . . The components have been characterized by electron microscopy using the phosphotungstate method and by chemical and physical methods. . . . These studies show that the proteins composing the head, sheath and tail fibers of the phage have different primary structures" (p. 281).
