Interplay between Convective and Viscoelastic Forces Controls the Morphology of <i>In Vitro</i> Paclitaxel-Stabilized Microtubules
Microtubules (MTs) are self-assembling, high-aspect-ratio tubular nanostructures formed from the polymerization of tubulin protein. MTs are capable of globally assembling into optically birefringent morphologies, but there is disagreement on the mechanisms driving this behavior. We investigated the...
