Flagella assembly video (external link)


This is a really nice video about flagella assembly (thanks to Ken for the forward). One detail I didn't know before was that the flagella proteins are denatured for export through a ludicriously small 1 nm channel. All the stuff about the hook length measurements were particularly interesting. Very cool!
