A model of the phage‐encoded endolysin Psm, active against Clostridium perfringens , binding to the bacterial cell wall. Cell wall binding domains recognize the peptide side chains (cyan) of peptidoglycan to assist hydrolysis of the glycan backbone by the catalytic domain (blue). For further details readers are referred to the article by Tamai et al . on pp. 326–337 of this issue.
