Abstract excerpt

FtsZ is a bacterial cytoskeletal protein involved in cell division. It forms a ringlike structure that attaches to the membrane to complete bacterial division. It binds and hydrolyzes GTP, assembling into polymers in a GTP-dependent manner. To test how the orientation of the monomers affects the curvature of the filaments on a surface, we performed site-directed mutagenesis on the E. coli FtsZ protein to insert...
