This study investigates the structure and function of Gli123, a surface protein essential for Mycoplasma mobile gliding, revealing its conformational changes and evolutionary implications.

This study determines the structure of a dimeric F1-like ATPase in Mycoplasma mobile gliding machinery, showing it resembles F1-ATPase and supports an evolutionary link.

This study uses high-speed atomic force microscopy to visualize and analyze the real-time movements of the internal gliding machinery in Mycoplasma mobile.

This study uses quick-freeze, deep-etch electron microscopy to visualize the peptidoglycan architecture in Bacillus subtilis and its disruption processes under various treatments.
