Viral inactivation by disulfide bond reducing agents.
Disulfide bonds tie different peptide chains together and lock folded dipeptide chains into particular configurations. It is of interest to learn whether there is a differential susceptibility of viruses to inactivation by disulfide bond reduction. This may lead to information concerning differences in virion structures and may help in grouping them in different morphological categories. Dithio...
متن کاملMechanism of inactivation of DNA and RNA bacteriophages by alkylating agents in vitro.
Bifunctional alkylating agents, analogs of di-(2-chloroethyl)methylamine, inactivate bacteriophages, including RNA phage (MS2), single-stranded DNA phages ($X174, 813, and fl), and double-stranded DNA phages (T2 and P22), whereas monofunctional alkylating agents do not inactivate these phages significantly. Therefore, it is concluded that inactivation may occur by intrastrand cross-linkage in D...
متن کاملInactivation of Bacteriophages by Decay of Incorporated Radioactive Phosphorus
The inactivation of the phages T1, T2, T3, T5, T7, and lambda by decay of incorporated P(32) has been studied. It was found that these phages fall into two classes of sensitivity to P(32) decay: at the same specific activity of P(32) in their deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), T2 and T5 are inactivated three times as rapidly as T1, T3, T7, and lambda. Since the strains of the first class were found t...
متن کاملInactivation of Lactobacillus delbrueckii bacteriophages by heat and biocides.
The effect of several biocides and thermal treatments on the viability of four Lactobacillus delbrueckii phages was investigated. Time to achieve 99% inactivation of phages at 63 and 72 degrees C in three suspension media (Tris Magnesium Gelatin (TMG) buffer, Man Rogosa Sharpe (MRS) broth and reconstituted nonfat dry skim milk (RSM)) was calculated. Thermal resistance depended on the phage cons...
متن کاملPhotodynamic Inactivation of Mammalian Viruses and Bacteriophages
Photodynamic inactivation (PDI) has been used to inactivate microorganisms through the use of photosensitizers. The inactivation of mammalian viruses and bacteriophages by photosensitization has been applied with success since the first decades of the last century. Due to the fact that mammalian viruses are known to pose a threat to public health and that bacteriophages are frequently used as m...
