Show:Asymmetric Unit Biological Assembly Drag the structure with the mouse to rotate   Export Animated Image Function Fibritin (Fib) is a structural protein of virus. Fib promotes the assembly of the long tail fibers (whiskers) and their attachment to the virus tail baseplate. Fib is also responsible for the retraction of the tail fibers in adverse environment[1]. Structural highlights . Fib structure is composed of N-terminal domain which is responsible for attachment to the phage, a central 500A domain made of triple-helix coiled coil and the C-terminal domain (foldon) – residues 458-484 – which is the trimerization domain.
