Exploring the function of inner and outer dynein arms with Chlamydomonas mutants.
Chlamydomonas flagella contain as many as 11 different dynein heavy chains, three in the outer arm and eight in the inner. Several lines of evidence suggest that these different dyneins are functionally diverse. This diversity may be important for the generation of axonemal undulating movement.
