Mycoplasma mobile is one of the fastest gliding bacteria, gliding with a speed of 4.5 μm s-1. This gliding motility is driven by a concerted movement of 450 supramolecular motor units composed of three proteins, Gli123, Gli349, and Gli521, in the ...
F1-ATPase is a world's smallest biological rotary motor driven by ATP hydrolysis at three catalytic β subunits. The 120° rotational step of the central shaft γ consists of 80° substep driven by ATP binding and a subsequent 40° substep. In order to...
Length control is a fundamental requirement for molecular architecture. Even small wall-less bacteria have specially developed macro-molecular structures to support their survival. <italic>Mycoplasma pneumoniae</italic>, a human pathogen, forms a ...
A collective motion of self-driven particles has been a fascinating subject in physics and biology. Sophisticated macroscopic behavior emerges through a population in thousands or millions of bacterial cells, propelling itself by flagellar rotatio...
