This project delves into the rotational mechanisms of the type 9 secretion system (T9SS) in bacteria, utilizing various molecular simulation techniques to uncover how the interaction between various components influences T9SS's rotational direction, crucial for understanding bacterial motility and pathogenesis.

-Exploration of the T9SS's function in bacterial motility, focusing on its rotational dynamics and the role of the cell-surface conveyor belt in directional control

-Development of a novel mechanism to show how the T9SS plays a pivotal role in bacterial translocation

-Use of all-atom and steered MD simulations to analyze the energy requirements and directional preferences of the GldLM complex within T9SS
