Here, we demonstrate that N-terminally truncated R pyocin tail fibers corresponding to a region of variation between R-subtypes are sufficient to bind target strains according to R-subtype. Only pay the difference Tail fibers are protein structures that extend from the baseplate of a bacteriophage and play a crucial role in recognizing and binding to specific receptors on the.
