Structure and Function of Bacterial Secretion Systems
The focus of our research in the last years has been on the molecular motors involved in pilus biogenesis and substrate transport in bacterial Type IV Secretion Systems. These motors use the energy from ATP hydrolysis to perform their functions. The final goal of our studies is to characterize the molecular mechanisms involved in this process
