Microtubule(MT) is a hollow cylindrical biopolymer comprised of assembled αβ-tubulin heterodimers. They are involved in a variety of cellular functions, including cell division, intracellular transport, and cell morphology. Using small angle X-ray/Neutron scattering and transmission electron microscopy, we quantitatively examined the nature of BMTs-to-BITT†, MTs-to-SMTs, DWMTs, and BDWMTs transformation pathways, which results from cationic molecule triggered conformation switch. †Nature Materials 13 195 (2014) MT bundles (BMTs), Inverted tubulin tubule (BITT), MT sheets (SMTS), Double-walled-MTs (DWMTs), DWMT bundles (BDWMTs) |
