Sulfo-SMCC Prevents Annealing of Taxol-Stabilized Microtubules In Vitro.

Microtubule structure and functions have been widely studied in vitro and in cells. Research has shown that cysteines on tubulin play a crucial role in the polymerization of microtubules. Here, we show that blocking sulfhydryl groups of cysteines in taxol-stabilized polymerized microtubules with a c...
