Abstract excerpt
Microtubules (MT), along with a variety of associated motor proteins, are involved in a range of cellular functions including vesicle movement, chromosome segregation, and cell motility. MTs are assemblies of heterodimeric proteins, alpha beta-tubulins, the structure of which has been determined by electron crystallography of zinc-induced, pacilitaxel-stabilized tubulin sheets. These data provide a basis for...
