AF3 models of Klebsiella #phage RBPs.
This was done for coliphages and (to a lesser extent) phages against A. baumannii. Field heating up!

Abstract. Streptomycetes are prolific producers of bioactive natural products, but many of the biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) are silent in the laborato

Bacteriophage receptor-binding proteins (RBPs) determine bacterial host recognition and are central to phage host-range evolution, yet the structural principles governing how RBPs diversify and expand...

Temperature changes affect the physical properties of the plasma membrane. Typically,
a reduction in temperature causes a less fluid and thus more viscous, membrane. It
has been long established that ...
Auxiliary metabolic genes, acquired by cyanobacterial viruses (cyanophages) from their
hosts, are thought to manipulate host metabolism during infection. A recent study
by Nadel et al. performed in vi...
