Abstract
The first stages of tail sheath aggregation of phage T2 were investigated by analytical centrifugation, electron microscopy, and turbidity determination. A dependence of the aggregation process on the pH was established with maximum aggregation at pH 3.3. It was shown that aggregation begins with formation of dimers—two sheaths joined end-to-end with a 155 S sedimentation coefficient. The investigation of the dependence of the aggregation on the ionic strength of the solution and the presence of nonpolar solvents, as well as the potentiometric titration, attest the important role of electrostatic interactions in this process.
