This volume provides state-of-the-art methodology to functionalize microtubules and construct microtubule-based materials. Chapters consists of six sections detailing modification of microtubule structures, observation and control of microtubule movement, material applications of microtubules in vitro, development of microtubule-binding molecules, comprehensive approaches to analyze properties of microtubules, and functionalization of microtubules in living cells. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.
Authoritative and cutting-edge, Microtubules: Methods and Protocols aims to provide useful information for construction of microtubule-based materials and help to create new ideas for the next-generation of materials and applications through detailed protocols.
