Hi,
I would like to know what is the main reason of phage tail proteins binding to the polysaccharides on the bacterial membrane? Also, is such binding influenced by hydrogen interactions?
I would greatly appreciate if anybody helps me,

Because of receptors on the surface to help them link by the nature of the wall of bacteria. Hydrogen interactions are affected because of the bonds associated with the outer surface

Thank you so much for your reply. So, if the phage non-specifically deposit on a surface with hydroxyl functional groups, is it possible that during time, it reorients itself in a manner that hydrogen bonds form between tail and the surface? I mean that how much such hydrogen bonding could be important for tail proteins?
