A model of the chemotaxis receptor complex has been constructed;
The regular two-dimensional lattice provides a possible basis for the spread of activity from one receptor to the neighbour.
The spread of activity allow an integration of different signals, and enhance the response to weak signals;
The supra-molecular structure creates separate compartments for adaptation and downstream signalling;
CheR and CheB are segregated in the adaptation compartment, and their activity is enhanced.
