2. Results 2.1. Structure of Colicin/Immunity Complexes The structural details of the three colicin/immunity protein complexes colicin D-immunity D (Col_D-ImD), colicin E3-immunity E3 (Col_E3-Im3), and colicin E8-immunity E8 (Col_E8-Im8) predicted from AlphaFold2 (Figure 1a, Figure 2a and Figure 3a) reveal both similarities and unique features that contribute to their binding mechanisms and the neutralization of colicin toxicity.
