Bacteriophages Have Multicomponent Particles
The head consists of an icosahedron that has
very tightly packed DNA.
Nearly 20 proteins are found in the head.
An equally complex tail sheath forms a helical
component.
The head is connected to the tail sheath by a
neck that is composed of four to five proteins.
An end plate with lysozyme activity and pins
at the base of the sheath contain several
different proteins.
Tail fibers used to recognize receptor proteins
on the surface of the bacterial cell consist of
numerous additional proteins.
