Description
DNA-virus filamentous bacteriophage (fd-coat proteins) are explored in the weak AC electric field [1,2], as well applied to other materials (in graphene oxide [3], lysozyme and carbon dots). Recently there is a great interest using the bacteriophage fd-viruses as a potential vaccine therapy due to the presence of many polypeptides. However, there are still unknown genomic “mutations” that may vary the major and side effect. Here, the morphological evidences and microscopic dynamics of field-frequency responses are presented in brief to explore the possible control of the field-controlled kinetics, and the rigidity and conformational states of bacteriophage fd, DNA-viruses regarding the solvency for the biochemical activities.
