- Thermodynamic and kinetic studies on the attachment of T1 bacteriophage to bacteria. Garen, A. (1954). Biochim. Biophys. Acta 14:163-172. The first phase of the invasion of E. coli strain B by T1 bacteriophage has been found to proceed in two distinct, consecutive steps1, 2, of which the first is a reversible binding of the phage to the bacterium through the interaction primarily of ionic groups on the two surfaces3, 4. Under optimal conditions at 37° C this reaction has a collision efficiency in the neighborhood of 100% (i.e., almost every random contact between reactants results in attachment). This high efficiency remains unchanged as the temperature is lowered from 37 to 2° C, showing that no significant activation energy is required. Reversible attachment is followed by an irreversible step, after which the phage can no longer be recovered as an infected particle. This step, in contrast to the preceeding one, requires around 18,000 calories/mole of activation energy, and yet also occurs with an almost 100% collision efficiency at 37° C. As will be shown in the present work, this result is a consequence of the stepwise nature of the reaction. [TOP OF PAGE]
