Evidence for a sliding‐resistance at the tip of the trypanosome flagellum
28 Sept 2006
Abstract excerpt
Motility in trypanosomes is achieved through the undulating behaviour of a single "9 + 2" flagellum; normally the flagellar waves begin at the flagellar tip and propagate towards the base. For flagella in general, however, propagation is from base-to-tip and it is believed that bend formation, and sustained regular oscillation, depend upon a localised resistance to inter-doublet sliding - which is normally...
