Dynamics of Type IV Pili Is Controlled by Switching Between Multiple States

Type IV pili are major bacterial virulence factors supporting adhesion, surface motility, and gene transfer. The polymeric pilus fiber is a highly dynamic molecular machine that switches between elongation and retraction. We used laser tweezers to investigate the dynamics of individual pili of Neiss...
