Furthermore, how could a three-nucleotide code be "read" by the protein-forming machinery ... a triplet code by way of experiments using the T4 bacteriophage (a bacteria-specific virus).

Melting a bacteriophage’s coat of proteins turns it into a tiny power plant, which could fire up the discovery of new bioengineered devices. Andrew is a freelance science writer and graduate student ...

Bacteriophage ... tail includes a collar (covered with contractile proteins for the most elaborated bacteriophages, such as the T2 and T4 phages) and ending by tail fibers enabling it to attach ...
