Microtubules are polymers composed of alpha-beta tubulin heterodimers that assemble into microtubules. Microtubules are dynamic structures that have periods of both growth and shrinkage by addition and removal of subunits from the polymer. Microtubules stochastically switch between periods of growth and shrinkage, termed dynamic instability. Dynamic instability is coupled to the GTPase activity of the...
