MethodDetailsSoftware
The GC pilus filament structure was built by computationally fitting a single GC pilin subunit (2HI2.pdb) into a cryoEM density map of the pilus filament (EMDB code xxx) using the program CoAn (Volkmann and Hanein, J. Struct. Biol., 125, 176-184, 1999), and then applying the symmetry operators defined by the cryoEM reconstruction (10.5 Angstrom rise and a 100.8 degree azimuthal rotation, Craig et al., Mol. Cell xxx, yyy, 2006) to the subunit.CoAn
