Abstract excerpt
The flagellar motor rotates bi-directionally in counter-clockwise (CCW) and clockwise (CW) directions. The motor consists of a stator and a rotor. Recent structural studies have revealed that the stator is composed of a pentameric ring of A subunits and a dimer axis of B subunits. Highly conserved charged and neighboring residues of the A subunit interacts with the rotor, generating torque through a gear-like...
