Microtubulin Binding Sites as Target for Developing Anticancer Agents

Abstract excerpt

Microtubules (MTs) play important and diverse roles in eukaryotic cells. Their function and biophysical properties have made alpha-and beta-tubulin, the main components of MTs, the subject of intense study. Interfering with normal MT dynamics, for example, by the addition of tubulin ligands, can cause the cell great distress and affect MT stability and functions, including mitosis, cell motion and intracellular...
