The Interaction of T-4 Phage Particles and Mercuric Ion

Key Points

This research aims to explore how mercuric ions interact with T-4 phage particles through changes in absorption spectra.
Analyzed the interaction using ultraviolet spectrophotometry.
Measured changes in the absorption spectrum upon the addition of Hg(II).
Observed similar spectral changes to those reported for free DNA upon adding mercuric ion.

Abstract

The interaction of T-4 phage particles and mercuric ion has been studied by ultraviolet spectrophotometry. The changes in the ultraviolet absorption spectrum upon the addition of Hg(II) are very similar to the changes observed by Yamane and Davidson and others for free DNA.
