used micro-imaging techniques – including X-ray crystallography and cryo-electron microscopy – to determine the structure of the DNA packaging motor in a virus called Bacteriophage phi29.

Plants are susceptible to a wide range of pathogens. For the common potato plant, one such threat is Pectobacterium ...

Researchers at the University of California, Irvine have developed a live-imaging system, Phollow, that tracks individual ...

Researchers have uncovered the atomic structure of the bacteriophage φTE, which infects and kills the plant pathogen Pectobacterium atrosepticum. Using cryo-electron microscopy, they revealed unique ...

Researchers have produced the most detailed image to date of a bacteriophage -- phage for short -- that has allowed them to see for the first time the structural makeup of the part of the phage that ...

A type of virus thought to be a ‘mere curiosity’ is plentiful in one common bacteria, and possibly others, a Monash ...

To create their viral traps, the team started with a single-stranded DNA molecule that was either synthesized or derived from a bacteriophage virus. They mixed this ... Then, using cryo-electron ...

Scripps Research team offers insights that could aid development of phage therapies against Mycobacteria The pathogens which ...

New insights into a "friendly virus" that could pave the way for ... in the U.K. Using the University's own high-resolution electron microscope, the team were able to study the phage in atomic ...
