The structure and assembly of bacteriophage T4 has been extensively studied. However, the detailed structure of the portal protein remained unknown. Here we report the structure of the ...

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 ...

In order to edit the human genome—recombine or replace genes, alter or silence gene expression—they have redesigned the well-characterized structural components of bacteriophage T4 to ...
