Catch-bond mechanism of the bacterial adhesin FimH

Catch bonds have a role in bacterial adhesion and infection by uropathogenic E. coli.Here, the authors report crystal structures, molecular dynamics simulations, ligand binding analysis and cell tracking to characterise the catch bond interaction between the adhesin FimH and carbohydrate receptors.
