We apologize for Proteopedia being slow to respond. For the past two years, a new implementation of Proteopedia has been being built. Soon, it will replace this 18-year old system. All existing content will be moved to the new system at a date that will be announced here.
4jj2
From Proteopedia
High resolution structure of a C-terminal fragment of the T4 phage gp5 beta-helix
Function
[VG05_BPT4] Tail-associated lysozyme essential for localized hydrolysis of bacterial cell wall necessary for viral DNA injection. The needle-like gp5 protein punctures the outer cell membrane and then digests the peptidoglycan cell wall in the periplasmic space.
