A very simple fix is to use a loop of thread (or any other small diameter material) at the bend of the hook. Pull it from bend through the tail fibers to split them. In order to terminate a. Tail fibers, a major class of RBPs, are elongated and flexible trimeric proteins, making their full-length structures difficult to resolve experimentally. Advances in deep learning–based protein structure prediction, such as AlphaFold2-multimer (AF2M) and ESMFold, provide opportunities for studying. A variable number of fibers are attached to the distal part of the tail of caudovirales bacterial viruses.
