Molecular Modeling of the Axial and Circumferential Elastic Moduli of Tubulin

Microtubules play a number of important mechanical roles in almost all cell types in nearly all major phylogenetic trees. We have used a molecular mechanics approach to perform tensile tests on individual tubulin monomers and determined values for the axial and circumferential moduli for all current...
