Abstract
A theory is presented which quantitatively links the physical properties of a flagellum with parameters which characterize the chemical reactions responsible for deforming the flagellum. Realistic values for the wave parameters are predicted when order-of-magnitude values for the appropriate constants are used. The model may be useful in other fields where mechanochemical coupling occurs.Mesh：
