title: The sequences of gene rIII of bacteriophage T4 and its mutants.
abstract: The nucleotide sequences of bacteriophage T4 gene rIII, from six different rIII mutants, have been determined. We show that the mutations r67, rES35 and rES40 cause basic amino acid changes in the rIII protein, while the mutations rBB9, rCR28 and rCP24 cause chain termination.
