Partial Atomic Model of the Tailed Lactococcal Phage TP901-1 as Predicted by AlphaFold2: Revelations and Limitations

Bacteria are engaged in a constant battle against preying viruses, called bacteriophages (or phages).These remarkable nano-machines pack and store their genomes in a capsid and inject it into the cytoplasm of their bacterial prey following specific adhesion to the host cell surface.Tailed phages possessing dsDNA genomes are the most abundant phages
