Un estudio CNB resuelve la estructura de NO16, un virus que infecta bacterias marinas patógenas de peces y moluscos y causa pérdidas en acuicultura. Esto ayuda a entender la evolución y potencial de los virus marinos como herramientas biotecnológicas. ℹ️https://f.mtr.cool/fjojjqu4um

Structure of NO16, a marine non-tailed vibriophage with an unusual symmetry-mismatched vertex arrangement
Author summary Bacteriophages are among the most abundant biological entities in the oceans. While most known phages use a tail to recognize and infect bacteria, simpler non-tailed phages may be just ...

Hi everyone!👋🏽 I am currently completing my PhD in Structural Virology of marine viruses using as the main technique cryo-EM SPA🔬. Moreover, I have obtained some experience on cryo-ET on side projects and on XL-MS in a short stay at FMP, Berlin.🧪🧫👩🏽‍🔬
