Limited information is currently available regarding the contraction mechanism of the Hcp-1 hemolysin-coregulated protein within the type VI secretion system (T6SS) of Acinetobacter baumannii, particularly about the secretion of toxic effectors. This research aimed to evaluate the mechanism underlying the contraction of the Hcp1 nanotube in response to the putative toxic effector TagX protein by employing bioinformatics tools and the artificial intelligence (AI) DeepMind system. To achieve this goal, the..
