ALTHOUGH flagella movement or propulsion by means of a single flagellum is probably one of the first types of movement which came into existence, the fact remains that comparatively little is known ...

Flagellar assembly occurs at the distal tip of the organelle, which is far from the site of protein synthesis in the cell body. As a result, intraflagellar transport (IFT) is required to transport ...

Many species of swimming bacteria have a rotary structure called a "flagellum," consisting of more than twenty different kinds of proteins. By rotating their flagellar filaments and gaining propulsion ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract When Chlamydomonas cells are deflagellated by pH shock or mechanical shear the nucleus rapidly moves toward the flagellar basal apparatus at ...

When speaking of motors, most people think of those powering vehicles and human machinery. However, biological motors have existed for millions of years in microorganisms. Among these, many bacterial ...

Patterns of chemical interactions are thought to create patterns in nature such as stripes and spots. This new study shows that the mathematical basis of these patterns also governs how sperm tail ...

Scientists have made a pivotal breakthrough in the quest to understand how single-cell green algae are able to keep track of the light as they swim. A team of researchers from the University of Exeter ...

Antibodies binding to sea urchin flagellar outer-doublet tubulin have been isolated from rabbit sera by tubulin-affinity chromatography employing electrophoretically purified tubulin as the ...

Hermes Bloomfield-Gadêlha receives funding from EPSRC. Alan Turing might be best known for his work helping to crack Germany’s “Enigma” communications code during the second world war. But he also ...
