Top panel, end-on view from the top, with a 50 Å thick cross-section of the map. The map is painted where the density is higher than the contour level. Bottom panel, side view, with a 50 Å thick longitudinal section of the map that spans from the filament axis towards readers. The top points towards the distal end of the flagellum. The resolution of the density map was limited to 20 Å for easy evaluation of the model fitting. D0, D1, D2 and D3 indicate the domains of flagellin; IT and OT represent the inner- and outer-tube regions, respectively. Prepared with O41.
