This valuable study reports on the critical role of ANKRD5 (ANKEF1) in sperm motility and male fertility. However, the supporting data remain incomplete. This work will be of interest to biomedical ...

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

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 ...

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

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

When speaking of motors, most people think of those powering vehicles and human machinery. However, biological motors have ...

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 ...
