Structural 3D visualization of the bacteriophage T4 virus. Bacteriophages, or phages, are viruses that infect bacteria. Phage T4 infects Escherichia coli bacteria. Its structure is composed of about 50 proteins that together make the head, tail and tail fibres. The proteins are colour-coded: gp24 (dark magenta), gp23 (green), hoc (blue) and soc (orange in head section). This visualization was created using the UCSF Chimera visualization software. | |
