Abstract

We constructed a new Flagellar model based on Quantum Physics, and this model for the transduction of energy in bacterial flagellar motor was presented. We proposed that Lagrageian were made of the four main parts, i.e. MotA-FliG complex, water molecules, dissipative terms and rotor of Flagellar. In this model, the flux of ions across the channel interacts with the charges, which existed in the wall of ionic channel. In this results, stochastic resonance generated between the Mot-A Flig-G complex and the ions. The MotA-FliG complex produced travelling waves in one of the subcomponents of the motor, the C ring. This wave stabilized the cyclical movement of the channel which generated the rotating force.
