The bacterial flagellar filament is a helical propeller constructed from 11 protofilaments of a
single protein, flagellin. The filament switches between left- and right-handed supercoiled …

The bacterial flagellar filament is a helical propeller for bacterial locomotion. It is a helical
assembly of a single protein, flagellin, and its tubular structure is formed by 11 protofilaments in …

… Namba, unpublished). The interactions between the cap and the distal end of the filament
seem to have unique characteristics. The binding is supposed to be very stable so that …

The bacterial flagellum, which is responsible for motility, is a biological nanomachine
consisting of a reversible rotary motor, a universal joint, a helical screw, and a protein export …

The structure of tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) has been determined by fiber diffraction methods
at 2.9 Å resolution, and refined by restrained least-squares to an R-factor of 0.096. Protein-…

X-ray fibre diffraction analysis of bacterial flagellar filaments has allowed the subunit packing
and secondary structure arrangement in the filament core to be determined. The central …

From genes to cells there are many steps of hierarchical increments in building up complex
frameworks that provide intricate networks of macromolecular interactions, through which …

… In this study, Keiichi Namba and colleagues report the structure of F-actin by electron
cryomicroscopy and build a complete atomic model of F-actin. This new structure will aid in our …

Resolution: Implications for Assembly Page 1 the last right column, without ever touching any
nail in the diagonal of the lattice? Of course we can; and in a stupendous number of ways. …

Translocation of many soluble proteins across cell membranes occurs in an ATPase-driven
manner. For construction of the bacterial flagellum responsible for motility, most of the …
