Cryo-electron microscopy of the f1 filamentous phage reveals insights into viral infection and assembly
Abstract Phages are viruses that infect bacteria and dominate every ecosystem on our planet. As well as impacting microbial ecology, physiology and evolution, phages are exploited as tools in molecular biology and biotechnology. This is particularly true for the Ff (f1, fd or M13) phages, which repr...
