The bacterial fimbrial tip acts as a mechanical force sensor.

There is increasing evidence that the catch bond mechanism, where binding becomes stronger under tensile force, is a common property among non-covalent interactions between biological molecules that are exposed to mechanical force in vivo.Here, by using the multi-protein tip complex of the mannose-binding type 1 fimbriae of Escherichia coli, we sho
