Our electron cryomicroscopic structure of Geobacter sulfurreducens pili reveals them to be composed of a core of PilA-N coated with an outer surface layer of PilA-C (. Here is a (front half hidden). The C-termini of PilA-N in PilA-C. The filament is assembled from . Dimer : PilA-N consists of two alpha helices, while PilA-C includes a 3-stranded beta sheet.
