Abstract excerpt
The bacterial flagellum is powered by a rotary motor capable of turning the helical flagellar propeller at very high speeds. Energy to drive rotation is derived from the transmembrane electrochemical potential of specific ions. Ions passing through a channel component are thought to generate the force to power rotation. Two kinds of motors, dependent on different coupling ions, have been described: proton-driven...
