Mathematical Model for Length Control by the Timing of Substrate Switching in the Type III Secretion System.

Type III Secretion Systems (T3SS) are complex bacterial structures that provide gram-negative pathogens with a unique virulence mechanism whereby they grow a needle-like structure in order to inject bacterial effector proteins into the cytoplasm of a host cell. Numerous experiments have been perform...
