Diagram of the stator and the structure of its sodium ion pathway (IMAGE)
Caption
This study identified key structural components of the sodium ion pathways in the stator of the bacterial flagellar motor. It also uncovered some of the structural changes that the stator undergoes as ions flow through it, and how specific mutations and chemicals can interfere with this function.
