J Mol Biol
. 2023 Sep;
435(20):168261.
PMID: 37678706
Approximately 70% of bacteriophage-encoded proteins are of unknown function. Elucidating these protein functions represents opportunities to discover new phage-host interactions and mechanisms by which the phages modulate host activities. Here,...
