proteins that allow viruses to land on bacteria (IMAGE)
Caption
The proteins that allow viruses to land on bacteria — Gp38 — are attracted to FadL and OmpF, two proteins that help make up the outer walls of bacterial cells. StfE2, the chimeric protein formed with the help of the dormant prophage, stops the virus from landing on and infecting the bacteria.
