Abstract

We have calculated the translational and rotational frictional coefficients of structures related to T2 and T4 bacteriophage, using the theoretical framework developed in the preceding two papers. The structures considered were models for tail‐fiberless phage, and for whole phage with fibers in the extended and retracted portions. We also computed and compared with the experiment the changes in translational frictional coefficient produced by successive addition of 1–6 fibers to the fiberless particle. Agreement with experimental results is markedly improved over previous theoretical efforts, especially with respect to the effect of tail‐fiber extension. Some significant discrepancies remain, however, in the comparison of fiber‐retracted and fiberless phage.
