This is a 3D printed model of Bacteriophage Q-Beta, a virus that commonly infects E. Coli and it's about 2 million times larger than the actual virus. Asst. Prof. Jon Pokorski, in the department of ...

The atomic structure of the bacteriophage φTE, which kills plant pathogens, has been revealed for the first time, advancing the understanding of its infection mechanism. Okinawa Institute of Science ...

Scientists mapped the Bas63 bacteriophage in unprecedented detail, uncovering how its tail machinery infects bacteria. The structure reveals rare whisker-collar features and distant evolutionary ties ...

A researcher has created a computer reconstruction of a virus, including its complete native genome. Although other researchers have created similar reconstructions, this is believed to be the first ...

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 ...
