Molecular Biology of Bacteriophage T4 has been the authoritative volume about T4 phage, a model organism instrumental in numerous interdisciplinary scientific discoveries from the 1940s to the present. This book, originally published by ASM Press in 1994, represents a time-tested resource on all aspects of T4, including DNA metabolism, regulation of gene expression, phage morphogenesis, structure-function relationships of phage proteins, host-phage interactions, experiments in T4 genetics, and detailed research protocols. This landmark compendium has historical and educational value for microbiology students, early career researchers, and senior investigators alike. Since T4 has played a central role in the development of molecular biology as an academic discipline, the themes and experiments presented in this book provide an excellent framework for the design of graduate and undergraduate courses in prokaryotic genetics and biochemistry and provides a wealth of resources for those investigating biology and mechanisms of the numerous recently discovered phages.
