A collective motion description of tubulin βT7 loop dynamics
Tubulin is a hetero-dimeric protein that polymerizes into microtubules and facilitates, among other things, eukaryotic cell division. Thus, any agent that interferes with tubulin polymerization is of therapeutic interest, vis-à-vis cancer. For example, colchicine is known to prevent tubulin polymeri...
