Structural highlights
2l04 is a 1 chain structure with sequence from Escherichia virus Lambda. Full experimental information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance.
TUBE_LAMBD Forms the phage's tail tube composed of 32 hexameric disks. When it encounters the appropriate initiation complex gpM and gpL, it assembles in hexameric rings that stack on top of each others. Multimerization ceases when the correct tail length is achieved through a mechanism dependent on tail terminator protein.[1][2]
