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[1][2]. This called into question whether highly conductive pilus nanowires composed of the protein pilA exist. |

- ↑ 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 "Initial Model Outputs" in the publication for details.
