Abstract

The primary structure of the lysozyme of a strain of phage T4 carrying two frame-shift mutations ( eJD5 eJ201) has been found to differ from that of the wild-type strain by a sequence of four amino acids. One of the mutations has been shown to be due to the deletion of two bases and the other to the addition of two bases. Frame-shift mutations causing the addition and deletion of single bases and the addition of two bases have been identified previously. The codon GAA has been identified as coding for glutamic acid in the wild-type strain and AGG has been found to code for arginine in the double-mutant strain.
