Structure–property relation and relevance of beam theories for microtubules: a coupled molecular and continuum mechanics study
Quasi-one-dimensional microtubules (MTs) in cells enjoy high axial rigidity but large transverse flexibility due to the inter-protofilament (PF) sliding. This study aims to explore the structure–property relation for MTs and examine the relevance of the beam theories to their unique features. A mole...
