title: The structure of bacteriophage phi 6: protease digestion of phi 6 virions.
abstract: Proteolysis experiments with phi 6 virions show that the adsorption protein, P3, is digested by both trypsin and chymotrypsin. In addition, chymotrypsin also removes P6, a protein thought to be the anchor for P3 in the phi 6 membrane.
