This image depicts the structure of the T4 virus, called a bacteriophage because it infects bacteria. Researchers at Purdue and The Catholic University of America have discovered the structure of an ...

That's not some sci-fi spider, that's the T4 virus pictured above as it infects an E. coli bacterium by latching on with its "legs" -- actually an assortment of proteins. T4 is starring in a new film ...

The portal protein gp20 of bacteriophage T4 is a dodecamer located at the special five-fold vertex of the viral capsid. Its functions are essential for head assembly, genome packaging, neck and tail ...

This artist's conception depicts the structure of a "molecular motor" that packages DNA into the head segment of the T4 virus. Researchers at Purdue and The Catholic University of America have ...

The T4 virus is a simple form of life with a precise architecture dictated by genes in its DNA molecule. By mapping the genes and learning their function one learns how the virus is put together ...

A modified bacteria-killing virus, known as a phage, can deliver far more DNA to human cells than is possible with existing techniques. This capacity could lead to major advances in cell and gene ...

These self-propelling microscopic particles use tailor-made viruses to recognize specific bacteria strains. The viruses bind to matching bacteria to form unique sandwich structures that are then ...

The Nature Index 2024 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...
