This video presents a study in which, using cryo-electron microscopy, researchers determined the structure and mechanisms of a key component in the flagellar motor, which bacteria use to turn their ...
Cilia and flagella are evolutionarily conserved, microtubule-based, hair-like organelles that protrude from the cell surface. They are the fundamental units of motion in cellular biology, and also ...
Scientists have uncovered a new explanation for how swimming bacteria change direction, providing fresh insight into one of biology’s most intensively studied molecular machines. Bacteria move through ...
