A new class of biological ion-driven rotary molecular motors with 5:2 symmetry
Several new structures of three types of protein complexes, obtained by cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) and published between 2019 and 2021, identify a new family of natural molecular wheels, the “5:2 rotary motors.” These span the cytoplasmic membranes of bacteria, and their rotation is driven b...
