Abstract
Kids love models, and on page 792 of this issue Shimizu et al. give us an early Christmas present. Using plastic replicas of the CheA, CheW, and Tsr protein structures, they assembled the pieces like a jigsaw puzzle. The pleasing result is a scale model of the receptor–kinase signalling complex of bacterial chemotaxis.
