Figure 1: Example structure of a bacteriophage. Credit: Technology Networks. In order to reproduce, phage must first enter the host cell. They bind to specific receptors on the bacterial cell surface ...

They are comprised of a protein capsule around an RNA or DNA genome. The bacteriophage structure may include various features for infecting the host cell. Many bacteriophages have a central shaft ...

Throughout his lengthy career, Hendrix authored more than 100 publications investigating bacteriophages, their evolution, and how they inform fundamental questions about proteins and bacteria, the ...

Resolution ranged from 3.50 to 4.90 angstroms. Support for the study, “Structure and host specificity of Staphylococcus epidermidis bacteriophage Andhra,” came from National Institutes of Health phage ...

To bypass this obstacle, a homology atomic model of gp20 was constructed by comparing the X-ray structures of three portals from closely related bacteriophages, namely, SPP1 gp6, phi29 gp10, and P22 ...

In one new study reported in Nature Communications, researchers have solved the three-dimensional structure of a bacteriophage called a tequintavirus, or T5-like bacteriophage. The research showed ...

A virus structure mimics known as T4-AVVs was created ... a capsid in a processive manner by capturing and translocating the bacteriophage from one end to the other. Successive packaging of ...

Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) The atomic structure of the bacteriophage φTE, which infects the potato pathogen Pectobacterium atrosepticum, has been resolved using cryo-EM. The virus ...
