Michael Baym This is a good one “oh you packaged your genome and made particles oooh did you forget something”

Love some prophage-borne phage defense

Happy that I could contribute to this Nature Communications paper by optimising the purification, crystallising and solving the structure of this newly identified PG cross linking protein! The most surprising feature that I found was a long pro-rich stretch that blocks the active site 👇
