Technological advances in cryo-EM in recent years have given rise to detailed atomic
structures of bacteriophage tail tubes—a class of filamentous protein assemblies that could …

The phage life cycle is a multi-stage process initiated by the recognition and attachment of
the virus to its bacterial host. This adsorption step depends on the specific interaction …

Bacteriophages, the viruses infecting bacteria, hold great potential for the treatment of
multidrug-resistant bacterial infections and other applications due to their unparalleled …

We present an in‐depth analysis of selected CASP15 targets, focusing on their biological
and functional significance. The authors of the structures identify and discuss key protein …

Bacteriophages, viruses infecting bacteria, recognize their host with high specificity, binding
to either saccharide motifs or proteins of the cell wall of their host. In the majority of …

In 2021, the release of AlphaFold2-the DeepMind's machine-learning protein structure
prediction program-revolutionized structural biology. Results of the CASP14 contest were an …

The majority of phages, viruses that infect prokaryotes, inject their genomic material into their
host through a tubular assembly known as a tail. Despite the genomic diversity of tailed …

The host recognition modules encoding the injection machinery and receptor binding
proteins (RBPs) of bacteriophages are predisposed to mutation and recombination to …

Multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (MDRAB) is a pathogen recognized as
antimicrobial-resistant bacteria involved in healthcare-associated infections. Resistance to …

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are important microorganisms in food fermentation. In the food
industry, bacteriophages (phages or bacterial viruses) may cause the disruption of LAB …
