This is real-time imaging of a flagellar polymorphic change under a fluorescent microscope. A normal filament was changed to a coiled filament at 0.9 sec, subsequently, the filament wound around ...

These movements employ protein complexes known as the "flagellar motor." This flagellar motor consists of two main components: the rotor and the stators. The rotor is a large rotating structure, ...

In a new study, researchers analyzed the flagellar motor in Vibrio alginolyticus using cryo-electron microscopy and described how sodium ion flow through stators underlies stator function.

Docking of the molecular array into a density map of the flagellar filament obtained by electron cryomicroscopy also proved it. Mechanical switch: A computer simulation of the protofilament extension ...
