The illustration captures the moment when multiple bacteriophage viruses are infecting an E. coli bacterium, inserting their DNA into the host. It shows the structural assembly of the core translocation complex involved in DNA transport of the virus through the bacterial wall. The image was created to illustrate the research of Pérez-Ruiz, Mar, et al. in 'Assisted assembly of bacteriophage T7 core components for genome translocation across the bacterial envelope' (PNAS, 118.34, 2021: e2026719118).
