Model Description
Biologic Model of Salmonella flagella MS-ring protein FliF 6SCN 3D printed in multi-colored transparent plastic.
Protein Description
The bacterial flagellum is a complex, self-assembling, nanomachine that confers motility on the cell. Despite great variation across species, all flagella are ultimately constructed from a helical propellor attached to a motor embedded in the inner membrane. The motor consists of a series of stator units surrounding a central rotor made up of two ring complexes, the MS-ring and the C-ring.
