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 ...

Using cryo-electron microscopy, researchers uncovered how sodium ions drive bacterial flagellar motors, revealing key ...

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 ...

To construct the axial structure beyond the cytoplasmic membrane, flagellar axial proteins are translocated through the fT3SS, diffuse down a narrow central channel, and assemble at the tip of the ...
