Structural and functional insights into the interaction between a PP01 phage gp38 tail fiber tip and an Escherichia coli OmpC receptor

ABSTRACT Bacteriophages exhibit strict host specificity, primarily determined by adsorption to bacterial surface receptors. However, the molecular basis underlying this specificity remains incompletely understood. Here, we investigate the interaction between outer membrane protein C (OmpC) of Escher...
