Abstract excerpt
Flagellar motors utilize the motive force of protons and other ions as an energy source. To elucidate the mechanisms of ion permeation and torque generation, it is essential to investigate the structure of the motor stator complex; however, the atomic structure of the transmembrane region of the stator has not been determined experimentally. We recently constructed an atomic model structure of the transmembrane...
