Electron microscopy images reveal crucial structures and mechanisms within the molecular machinery that certain bacteria use ...

When speaking of motors, most people think of those powering vehicles and human machinery. However, biological motors have existed for millions of years in microorganisms.

and hitherto they have been regarded as ‘‘flagella or motor-organs. Motility of bacteria is thought to be due to activity of these threads, either by themselves or twisted into a tail.

Biological motors, which aid microorganism movement in fluids, are composed of two components -- the rotor and stators. Despite much research, the exact molecular mechanism underlying stator function ...

"Flagellar-based movement is involved in infections and toxicity of some species of pathogenic bacteria. One motivation behind this study was finding ways of inactivating such bacteria by ...

Researchers use cryo-electron microscopy to reveal how sodium ions power bacterial flagellar motors, providing insights for ...
