CAVEAT: The homology model described here was published in 2015. In 2019, [[cryo-EM]] structures of highly conductive ''Geobacter'' nanowires were found to be composed of the cytochrome OmcS<ref name="wang-gu">PMID:30951668</ref><ref name="filman">PMID:31925024</ref>. This called into question whether highly conductive pilus nanowires composed of the protein pilA exist.

Two pilin monomer models (<scene name='59/595215/2_gs_pilin_models/2'>restore initial scene</scene>) were utilized. First, we made a homology model templated on the X-ray crystallographic structure of the pilin of ''Pseudomonas aeruginosa''<ref>A ''Geobacter sulfurreducens'' pilin (pilA) homology model was constructed by Swiss-Model, templated on the X-ray crystallographic structure of ''Pseudomonas aeruginosa'' pilin ([[1oqw]], chain A). This model represents residues 1-60 of the mature pilin protein (length 61 amino acids: residues 30-90 of [http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/D7AIT1 D7AIT1]), sequence {{Yelspan|F}}TLIELLIVVAIIGILAAIAIPQ{{Yelspan|F}}SA{{Yelspan|Y}}RVKA{{Yelspan|Y}}NSAASSDLRNLKTALESA{{Yelspan|F}}ADDQT{{Yelspan|Y}}PPES. This monomer includes six {{Yelspan|aromatic residues}}, F1, F24, Y27, Y32, F51 and Y57.</ref>. This model is colored in amino-to-carboxy rainbow coloring:

Second, we utilized model 5 of the NMR ensemble of ''Geobacter sulfurreducens'' pilin<ref>We employed the NMR structure of ''Geobacter sulfurreducens'' pilin, [[2m7g]]. We employed model 5 of this 18-conformer ensemble because model 5 had the best clash score and [[MolProbity]] score.</ref>.
