Helical beating of actuated flagella
A possible propulsion mechanism at low Reynolds number is the rotation of a flexible filament, tilted with respect to its rotation axis. Using a simple linear model, we establish the non linear torque-force relations for two torque-driven actuation modes. When the rotation of the filament is induced by two perpendicular transverse oscillating torques, the propulsive force increases monotonicall...
متن کاملA mesoscopic model for helical bacterial flagella.
Filaments of bacterial flagella are perfect tubular stackings polymerized out of just one kind of building block: the flagellin protein. Surprisingly, they do not form straight tubes, but exhibit a symmetry-breaking coiling into helical shapes which is essential for their biological function as cell "propeller''. The co-existence of two conformational states for flagellin within the filament is...
متن کاملHelical fine structure of flagella of a motile diphtheroid.
Studies on the nature of the bacterial flagella have received considerable impetus from the hypothesis advanced by Pijper (1947) that flagella are not the locomotor organs of bacteria, but are merely "mucous twirls" trailing from the cell surface. A considerable body of criticism has arisen (Houwink and van Iterson, 1950) challenging Pijper's viewpoint. As a result, numerous contributions conce...
متن کاملwuthering heights and the concept of marality/a sociological study of the novel
to discuss my point, i have collected quite a number of articles, anthologies, and books about "wuthering heights" applying various ideas and theories to this fantastic story. hence, i have come to believe that gadamer and jauss are rightful when they claim that "the individaul human mind is the center and origin of all meaning," 3 that reading literature is a reader-oriented activity, that it ...
15 صفحه اولBacteria that Glide with Helical Tracks
Many bacteria glide smoothly on surfaces, despite having no discernable propulsive organelles on their surface. Recent experiments with Myxococcus xanthus and Flavobacterium johnsoniae show that both of these distantly related bacterial species glide using proteins that move in helical tracks, albeit with significantly different motility mechanisms. Both species utilize proton-motive force for ...
