Due to its thermostability and high pH compatibility, subtilisin is most known for its role as an
additive for detergents in which it is categorized as a serine protease according to MEROPS …

The myelination of axons is a crucial step during vertebrate central nervous system (CNS)
development, allowing for rapid and energy efficient saltatory conduction of nerve impulses …

Abstract Bacteriophages T7, λ, P22, and P2/P4 (from Escherichia coli), as well as ϕ29 (from
Bacillus subtilis), are among the best-studied bacterial viruses. This chapter summarizes …

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a severe birth defect that is often accompanied by
other congenital anomalies. Previous exome sequencing studies for CDH have supported a …

The ability of phages to infect specific bacteria has led to their exploitation as bio-tools for
bacterial remediation and detection. Many phages recognize bacterial hosts via adhesin tips …

We report isolation and characterization of the novel T 4‐like S almonella bacteriophage vB
_ SenM‐S 16. S 16 features a T‐even morphology and a highly modified 160 kbp ds DNA …

Bacteriophage phi92 is a large, lytic myovirus isolated in 1983 from pathogenic Escherichia
coli strains that carry a polysialic acid capsule. Here we report the genome organization of …

Phage tail fibres are elongated protein assemblies capable of specific recognition of
bacterial surfaces during the first step of viral infection,,–. The folding of these complex …

Successful bacteriophage infection starts with specific recognition and adhesion to the host
cell surface. Adhesion devices of siphophages infecting Gram-positive bacteria are very …

The host recognition modules encoding the injection machinery and receptor binding
proteins (RBPs) of bacteriophages are predisposed to mutation and recombination to …
