Diagram? Microphotograph?
Is it possible to include a diagram of this virus so we can visualize its construction and components, including its method for infecting its host bacteria? It may be important for automatically assembling Quantum dots, so this might be useful information. David Spector (talk) 08:30, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

M13
M13 is one of the Ff phages (fd and f1 are others), a member of the family filamentous bacteriophage (inovirus). Ff phages are composed of circular single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) which is 6407 nucleotides long encapsidated in approximately 2700 copies of the major coat protein p8, and capped with about 5 copies each of four different minor coat proteins (p3 and p6 at one end and p7 and p9 at the other end) 42.111.166.7 (talk) 13:27, 26 April 2022 (UTC)
