Cryo-electron microscopy has exposed the structure of a bacterial virus with unprecedented detail. This is the first structure of a virus able to infect Staphylococcus epidermidis, and high-resolution ...

Cryo-electron microscopy by University of Alabama at Birmingham researchers has exposed the structure of a bacterial virus with unprecedented detail. This is the first structure of a virus able to ...

An electron micrograph— a photograph taken by means of a transmission electron microscope—of the DT57C bacteriophage. These types of images have been used to obtain a three-dimensional structure of ...

Dokland’s study, “Shape shifter: redirection of prolate phage capsid assembly by staphylococcal pathogenicity islands” was published in Nature Communications. Dokland said that Bacteriophages or ...

Current calibration methods rely on artificially constructed DNA structures or specific cellular features, each with significant drawbacks. DNA-based rulers require complex chemical synthesis and only ...

Two new studies have advanced our understanding of bacteriophages or phages, which are viruses that infect bacterial cells. Bacteriophages are crucial organisms that can be found in the gut microbiome ...
