Molecular motors: Keeping the beat
Alan J. Hunt1
The undulating beat of eukaryotic flagella and cilia produces forces that propel cells (or the constituents of their environment) in creatures ranging from algae to humans. The beats arise from bends that travel from a flagellum's base to its tip — by repetitively generating these bends, flagella assume waveforms appropriate for their specialized functions.
