Piercing mechanism in the minimal contractile tail of bacteriophage P2
Bacteriophage P2 is a long-standing model for contractile injection systems, yet high-resolution structures of the intact virion and the mechanism of baseplate activation have remained unresolved. Here, we combine high-resolution cryo-electron microscopy and in situ cryo-electron tomography to characterize P2, using it...
