alpha3 bacteriaphage (structure determined by X-ray and cryo-EM)
Look at the figure above, the tail of the phage is kind of fibular protein,
not globular as most proteins do.
If you look at the genome of bacteriaphage, you will find most recombination
events are outside the gene boundary. The explaination is that any
recombination within a gene will result in defective protein. This obviously
will lead to the elimination of the phages that carries this recomination
