Torque and switching in the bacterial flagellar motor. An electrostatic model.
A model is presented for the rotary motor that drives bacterial flagella, using the electrochemical gradient of protons across the cytoplasmic membrane. The model unifies several concepts present in previous models. Torque is generated by proton-conducting particles around the perimeter of the rotor...
