Our electron cryomicroscopic structure of ''Geobacter sulfurreducens'' pili reveals them to be composed of a core of '''<font color='#e87000'>PilA-N</font>''' coated with an outer surface layer of '''<font color='00a0a0'>PilA-C</font>''' (<scene name='83/834714/Filament/1'>restore initial scene)</scene>. Here is a <scene name='83/834714/Filament/2'>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 reveals them to be composed of a core of '''<font color='#e87000'>PilA-N</font>''' coated with an outer surface layer of '''<font color='00a0a0'>PilA-C</font>''' (<scene name='83/834714/Filament/1'>restore initial scene)</scene>.
