8 results about "Tubulin polymerization" patented technology

Tubulin heterodimers polymerize to form microtubules. Tubulin polymerizes to form structures called microtubules (MTs). When tubulin polymerizes it initially forms protofilaments, microtubules consist of 13 protofilaments and are 25 nm in diameter, each µm of microtubule length being composed of 1650 heterodimers.
