Flagella
Filaments and Assembly
Assembly of filamentous proteins is needed for the cytoskeleton, cell motility and macromolecular structures like flagella and hair.
These models slot together from either side to allow students to assemble flagella filaments themselves.
We have used these models to describe:
-
Intermolecular forces allowing protein quaternary structure
-
Macromolecular flexibility
-
Filament assembly
-
Filament capping
