The chemoreceptors Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium are stable and ultrasensitive molecules with coupling proteins, CheW and CheA attached at the bottom. A ligand bound can stimulate change through the kinase control model as a response. Among the 3 kinase control regulations, CheA and CheW binding is done through stable spatial clustering-leading to the YinYang Hypothesis. It proposes that strong helix packing stabilizes the receptor. | The chemoreceptors Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium are stable and ultrasensitive molecules with coupling proteins, CheW and CheA attached at the bottom.
