Abstract
The effect of water-miscible organic solvents on the stability of filamentous phages displaying a random peptide library was investigated. A kinetic analysis of the time course of viral infectivity indicated that the transition between the noninfectious and infectious form was directly related to the concentration of organic solvent.
