Charged Molecules Modulate the Volume Exclusion Effects Exerted by Crowders on FtsZ Polymerization.
We have studied the influence of protein crowders, either combined or individually, on the GTP-induced FtsZ cooperative assembly, crucial for the formation of the dynamic septal ring and, hence, for bacterial division. It was earlier demonstrated that high concentrations of inert polymers like Ficol...
