Abstract excerpt
Energetic interactions inside αβ-tubulin dimers of a microtubule (MT) with atomic resolutions are of importance in determining the mechanical properties and structural stability of the MT as well as designing self-assembled functional structures from it. Here, we carry out several comprehensive atomistic simulations to investigate the interaction properties within αβ-tubulin dimers and effect of residue mutations...
