Investigation of the molecular machinery enabling phage to enter bacteria.

该项目旨在全面了解生物纳米机器（称为噬菌体）的结构，通过广泛的调查了解组成部分如何共同作用以攻击细菌。该发现项目采用每个组成部分的基础知识，使用突破性技术构建概念框架，以解决纳米机器内组成部分的精确架构。该项目旨在扩大澳大利亚在纳米机器研究前沿的知识基础和研究能力。这个开创性的研究计划为研究生和工作人员提供了独特的培训机会，推动前沿技术应用的项目。

This project aims at a comprehensive understanding of the architecture of a biological nanomachine, called a phage, through broad-reaching investigation into how the component parts to work together to function in attacking bacteria. The discovery project takes the foundation knowledge of each of the component parts, builds a conceptual framework using breakthrough technology to address the precise architecture of the component parts within the nanomachine. The project aims to expand Australia’s knowledge base and research capability in the research frontier of nanomachines. This ground-breaking research program provides unique training opportunities for research students and staff in projects driving frontier technology applications.
