STRUCTURE OF THE RECEPTOR-BINDING DOMAIN OF THE BACTERIOPHAGE T4 SHORT TAIL FIBRE
The T4 bacteriophage is a virus which host cell is Escherichia coli a gut bacterium. To adsorb to its host cell the T4 bacteriophage uses six long and six short tail fibres. The first adsorption stage is the initial and reversible binding of the long tail fibres to the protein C (ompC) or to the lipo-polysaccharide (LPS) which are located in the outer membrane of Escherichia coli.
