R vs. L formsR vs. L forms
Quoted from [1]:
"The bacterial flagellar filament is a helical propeller rotated by the flagellar motor for bacterial locomotion. The filament is a supercoiled assembly of a single protein, flagellin, and is formed by 11 protofilaments. For bacterial taxis, the reversal of motor rotation switches the supercoil between left- and right-handed, both of which arise from combinations of two distinct conformations and packing interactions of the L-type and R-type protofilaments."[1]
The structure of a straight R form of the flagellar filament was reported in 2003[2], by fitting and extending a crystallographic model of the monomer (1io1)[3] into an electron cryomicroscopic density map with resolution approaching 4 Å. The resulting full-length R form monomer, 1ucu, included terminal alpha helices that were absent in the crystallographic model.
The structure of a straight L form of the flagellar filament was reported in 2010[1]. The monomer, 3a5x, was obtained by fitting the R-form monomer 1ucu into the electron cryomicroscopy density map.

Below are morphs between the R and L forms of the monomer (1ucu and 3a5x respectively) and the filaments. Filament models were kindly provided by T. Fujii and K. Namba.
