{c}

A stator <protein> contributing to ion-coupled <force> generation in proton-driven <bacterial flagellar motors>.

Together with its stator partners, it couples <ion> movement to mechanical interaction with the rotor. The surrounding membrane supplies an electrochemical <energy> source; the flagellar filament is the load rather than the source of that <energy>. <Molecular Biology of the Cell, 4th edition by Bruce Alberts and others>[Chapter 1, Bacterial motility]{ref}
