Investigation of the Electrical Properties of Microtubule Ensembles under Cell-Like Conditions

Investigation of the Electrical Properties of Microtubule Ensembles under Cell-Like Conditions

Microtubules are hollow cylindrical polymers composed of the highly negatively-charged (~23e), high dipole moment (1750 D) protein α, β- tubulin. While the roles of microtubules in chromosomal segregation, macromolecular transport, and cell migration are relatively well-understood,...
