Previous research had shown that the lambda phage introduced its own genetic information into that of its host, inserting it at a specific site in the host genome. ... the 3D structure ...

In the current study, the scientists installed up to five distinct mutations on a single lambda phage genome without counterselection in only a few hours of hands-on time.

Regulation of phage lambda packaging motor-DNA interactions: Nucleotide independent and dependent gripping and friction. eLife , 2023 DOI: 10.7554/eLife.91647.1 Cite This Page : ...

In collaboration with colleagues from Forschungszentrum Jülich and Jena University Hospital, they have now revealed the 3D structure of this crucial phage component in atomic resolution.

In this study, they found that the lambda phage shares this mechanism. If the DNA slips to the extent that it would completely fall out, it is caught by its end and prevented from detaching from ...

Scientists have now revealed the 3D structure of a phage component in atomic resolution, by combining two methods - solid-state NMR and cryo-electron microscopy.

The viruses that infect bacteria are the most abundant biological entities on the planet. For example, a recent simple study of 92 showerheads and 36 toothbrushes from American bathrooms found more ...
