Identification of hepatitis a virus mimotopes by phage display, antigenicity and immunogenicity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
A phage-displayed peptide approach was used to identify ligands mimicking antigenic determinants of hepatitis A virus (HAV) for the first time. Bacteriophages displaying HAV mimotopes were isolated from a phage-display peptide library by affinity ...

Endolysin Regulation in Phage Mu Lysis

open access: yesmBio, 2022
Bacteriophage Mu is a paradigm coliphage studied mainly because of its use of transposition for genome replication. However, in extensive nonsense mutant screens, only one lysis gene has been identified, the endolysin gp22.

New Insights into the Structure and Assembly of Bacteriophage P1

open access: yesViruses, 2022
Bacteriophage P1 is the premier transducing phage of E. coli. Despite its prominence in advancing E. coli genetics, modern molecular techniques have not been applied to thoroughly understand P1 structure.

Phage therapy: An alternative to antibiotics in the age of multi-drug resistance. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The practice of phage therapy, which uses bacterial viruses (phages) to treat bacterial infections, has been around for almost a century. The universal decline in the effectiveness of antibiotics has generated renewed interest in revisiting this practice.

The green production of eco-friendly silver with cobalt ferrite nanocomposite using Citrus limon extract

open access: yesResults in Chemistry, 2023
This paper reveals a novel and greener strategy to biosynthesize Cobalt-Ferrite-Silver trimetallic nanoparticles (Co-Fe-AgNPs) using the Citrus limon extract as a bio-reducing agent. Depending on the Transmission and Scanning Electron Microscopy (TEM and

Recent Advances in Structural Studies of Single-Stranded RNA Bacteriophages

open access: yesViruses, 2023
Positive-sense single-stranded RNA (ssRNA) bacteriophages (phages) were first isolated six decades ago. Since then, extensive research has been conducted on these ssRNA phages, particularly those infecting E. coli.

Phage spanins: diversity, topological dynamics and gene convergence

open access: yesBMC Bioinformatics, 2018
Background Spanins are phage lysis proteins required to disrupt the outer membrane. Phages employ either two-component spanins or unimolecular spanins in this final step of Gram-negative host lysis.

Effects of Noise on Ecological Invasion Processes: Bacteriophage-mediated Competition in Bacteria

open access: yes, 2006
Pathogen-mediated competition, through which an invasive species carrying and transmitting a pathogen can be a superior competitor to a more vulnerable resident species, is one of the principle driving forces influencing biodiversity in nature.
