Our electron cryomicroscopic structure of ''Geobacter sulfurreducens'' pili (<scene name='83/834714/Filament/7'>restore initial scene</scene>), [[6vk9]], reveals them to be <scene name='83/834714/Filament/9'>composed of a core</scene> of '''<font color='#e87000'>PilA-N</font>''' (61 amino acids) coated with an outer surface layer of '''<font color='00a0a0'>PilA-C</font>''' (104 amino acids). Here is a <scene name='83/834714/Filament/10'>cutaway view</scene> (front half hidden). The C-termini of '''<font color='#e87000'>PilA-N</font>''' <scene name='83/834714/Filament/3'>protrude into sockets</scene> in '''<font color='00a0a0'>PilA-C</font>'''. | Our electron cryomicroscopic structure of ''Geobacter sulfurreducens'' pili (<scene name='83/834714/Filament/7'>restore initial scene</scene>), [[6vk9]], reveals them to be <scene name='83/834714/Filament/9'>composed of a core</scene> of '''<font color='#e87000'>PilA-N</font>''' (61 amino acids) coated with an outer surface layer of '''<font color='00a0a0'>PilA-C</font>''' (104 amino acids).
