In bacterial chemotaxis, chemoattractant molecules may bind either directly or indirectly with receptors within the cell periplasmic space. The indirect binding mechanism, which involves an intermediate periplasmic binding protein, has been reported to increase sensitivity to dilute attractant conce...
