used micro-imaging techniques – including X-ray crystallography and cryo-electron microscopy – to determine the structure of the DNA packaging motor in a virus called Bacteriophage phi29.

General principles are formulated for the objective reconstruction of a three dimensional object from a set of electron microscope ... density map of the tail of bacteriophage T4.

A bacteriophage is a type of virus that infects bacteria. In fact, the word "bacteriophage" literally means "bacteria eater," because bacteriophages destroy their host cells. All bacteriophages ...

Modern super-resolution microscopes ... % of T4 viruses to stand upright on microscope slides, making measurements more consistent. The imaging revealed both the hollow structure of T4's capsid and ...

Students isolate novel bacteriophage from the environment and characterize those phage using current research techniques including electron microscopy and DNA analysis. The genomic DNA from some of ...

While preparing slides to be examined under a powerful microscope, a team of McMaster researchers who frequently work with bacteriophage viruses that ... alive under an electron microscope.
