PARTIAL ATOMIC MODEL OF THE TAILED LACTOCOCCAL PHAGE TP901-1 AS PREDICTED BY ALPHAFOLD2: REVELATIONS AND LIMITATIONS

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

Effect of Workplace Noise on Hearing Ability in Tile and Ceramic Industry Workers in Iran: A 2-Year Follow-Up Study

Introduction.Noise as a common physical hazard may lead to noise-induced hearing loss, an irreversible but preventable disorder.Annual audiometric evaluations help detect changes in hearing status before clinically significant hearing loss develops.This study was designed to track hearing threshold changes during 2-year follow-up among tile and cer
