Chemotaxis receptors: a progress report on structure and function.
Recent biochemical and structural studies have provided many new insights into the structure and function of bacterial chemoreceptors. Aspects of their ligand binding, conformational changes, and interactions with other members of the signaling pathway are being defined at the structural level. It is anticipated that the combined effort will soon provide a detailed, unified view of an entire response system.
