High-Resolution Imaging of a Single Gliding Protofilament of Tubulins by HS-AFM
Abstract In vitro gliding assay of microtubules (MTs) on kinesins has provided us with valuable biophysical and chemo-mechanical insights of this biomolecular motor system. Visualization of MTs in an in vitro gliding assay has been mainly dependent on optical microscopes, limited resolution of which...
