The Robust Self-Assembling Tubular Nanostructures Formed by gp053 from Phage vB_EcoM_FV3

The Robust Self-Assembling Tubular Nanostructures Formed by gp053 from Phage vB_EcoM_FV3

The recombinant phage tail sheath protein, gp053, from Escherichia coli infecting myovirus vB_EcoM_FV3 (FV3) was able to self-assemble into long, ordered and extremely stable tubular structures (polysheaths) in the absence of other viral proteins. TEM observations revealed that those protein nanotub...
