Phage-encoded DNA mimic proteins as signposts for novel antibacterials

Bacteria and their viruses (phages) are locked in a continuous evolutionary arms race. To survive infection, bacteria deploy powerful immune systems; in response, phages produce inhibitor proteins that disable these defenses and rewire the cell’s molecular machinery to their advantage. Read more
