Motor protein structure describes the structure of molecular motors capable of moving along a cytoskeletal filament. In many cases, motor proteins transport cargo in a particular direction along the ...

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. Among these, many bacterial ...

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 ...

The bacterial flagellar rotary motor rotates the flagellar filaments of bacteria such as Escherichia coli, which moves in a random walk pattern alternating between runs and tumbles 1. The bacterium ...

A: result of the motor resurrection experiments. B: distribution of the number of stators per flagellar motor (with bacteria swimming in free liquid environment) Flagellated bacteria are propelled by ...
