Competitive binding of the synthetic TMT-3 peptide to the TM.

The transport of TMT-3 phage was effectively completed by the corresponding synthetic TMT-3 peptide after 1-hr incubation indicating that they could compete for the same binding site. A scrambled synthetic peptide had no effect on the transport of the positive TMT-3 phage clone. Values are the mean and SD number of phages recovered from ME fluids of six rats.
