Computer model of a T7 bacteriophage, a virus that infects and kills Escherichia coli. The virus has an icosahedral head and six tail fibers which it uses to attach to the host cell surface, and the phage DNA is injected into the cell through the sheath. It instructs the host to build copies of the phage. | |
