## Abstract Bacteriophage T4 tail fibers are rodlike structures with a contour length of about 1400 Γ , a diameter of about 45 Γ , and a total mass of about 600,000 daltons. The assembly of the tail fibers and their subsequent attachment to the phage particle are under the control of 8 phageβinduced
## Abstract The characteristics of pure preparations of shortβtail fibers of bacteriophage T4 have been studied in the optical and electron microscope. Three main structures were observed: 1) spheres of 8.1 nm diameter; 2) fibers 43 nm long and 3.8 nm thick; and 3) fibers 54 nm long and 3.2 nm thic
