CAVEAT: The theoretical model described here was published in 2016. 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.

===Pilus Model===
The theoretical ''Geobacter sulfurreducens'' pilus model shown here, called ''ARC-1''<ref name="xiao1">Xiao et al., ''Scientific Reports'', March 2016: [http://www.nature.com/articles/srep23385 nature.com/articles/srep23385].</ref> (<scene name='69/699340/Arc-1_no_hydrogen/1'>restore initial scene</scene>), is representative of a cluster of 50 low-energy models with an arrangement of aromatic rings consistent with X-ray diffraction data<ref name="malvankar2015">PMID: 25736881</ref>. Unlike the docking of crystallographic models into electron density from cryo-electron microscopy<ref>PMID: 16949362</ref><ref>PMID: 12769840</ref>, these models have chemically realistic interactions between subunit chains. Energy minimization produced subunit interactions with shape complementarity, non-covalent bonds, and very few atomic clashes<ref>The chemical realism of these theoretical energy-minimized models contrasts with models where empirical monomer structures are docked into cryo-electron microscopic electron density maps. Those are unrealistic in details of subunit interactions, lacking shape complementarity and having many atomic clashes. See &quot;Initial Model Outputs&quot; in [http://www.nature.com/articles/srep23385 the publication] for details.</ref>.
