Publication on how bending of bacterial hook and flagella trigger flick motility
Mehdi has published an article describing how the dynamical buckling of bacterial hook and flagella combine to trigger flick motility in monotrichous bacteria. His model is the first to quantitatively predicts the onset of flicks seen in experiments. [M. Jabbarzadeh and H. C.
