The divisome is a macromolecular machine composed of more than 30 proteins that controls cell wall constriction during bacterial cell division. Here, the authors provide insights into the structure and dynamics of the divisome core complex using a combination of structure prediction, molecular dynamics simulation, single-molecule imaging, and mutagenesis.
