AFM force-clamp spectroscopy captures the nanomechanics of the Tad pilus retraction

{{output}}
Motorization of bacterial pili is key to generate traction forces to achieve cellular function. The Tad (or Type IVc) pilus from Caulobacter crescentus is a widespread motorized nanomachine crucial for bacterial survival, evolution and virulence. An unusual bi... ...
