Stator Dynamics Depending on Sodium Concentration in Sodium-Driven Bacterial Flagellar Motors

Bacterial flagellar motor (BFM) is a large membrane-spanning molecular rotary machine for swimming motility. Torque is generated by the interaction between the rotor and multiple stator units powered by ion-motive force (IMF). The number of bound stator units is dynamically changed in response to th...
