The scarce characterisation of the viral world has hampered our efforts to appreciate the
magnitude and diversity of the viral domain. It appears that almost every species can be …

The structure of the membrane-containing bacteriophage PRD1 has been determined by X-
ray crystallography at about 4 Å resolution. Here we describe the structure and location of …

The resolution and reliability of solution scattering models have been significantly improved
by ab initio shape and domain structure determination, and by detailed modelling of …

Viruses vastly outnumber their host cells and must present a huge selective pressure. It is
also becoming evident that only a small percent of the eukaryotic genome codes for …

“Sputnik” is a dsDNA virus, referred to as a virophage, that is coassembled with Mimivirus in
the host amoeba. We have used cryo-EM to produce an electron density map of the …

Protein characterization plays a role in two key aspects of structural proteomics. The first is
the quality assessment of the produced protein preparations. Obtaining well diffracting …

General features of phage receptors 4.2. FhuA, an E. coli outer membrane iron transporter …

Bacteriophage PRD1 shares many structural and functional similarities with adenovirus. A
major difference is the PRD1 internal membrane, which acts in concert with vertex proteins …

Virus filtration is a key clearance unit operation in the manufacture of recombinant protein,
monoclonal antibody, and plasma-derived biopharmaceuticals. Recently, a consensus has …
