==Formation== | |||
===Enzymatic=== | |||
Inter-molecular isopeptide bonds that link bacterial pilins into lengthy pili are formed enzymatically by a cysteine transpeptidase "sortase"<ref name="kang2009">PMID: 19497855</ref>. However, the same pilins have multiple intra-molecular isopeptide bonds that appear to form spontaneously<ref name="kang2009" />. | |||
