Abstract excerpt
The Salmonella flagellar motor consists of a rotor and about a dozen stator elements. Each stator element, consisting of MotA and MotB, acts as a proton channel to couple proton flow with torque generation. A highly conserved Asp33 residue of MotB is directly involved in the energy coupling mecha...
