Refined structure of alpha-beta tubulin from zinc-induced sheets stabilized with taxol

Refined structure of alpha beta-tubulin at 3.5 A resolution.

Structure of the alpha beta tubulin dimer by electron crystallography

JEOL 4000 electron microscope was used.
Kodak film and gatan CCD were used as detectors.
Temperature was 93 Kelvin.

Zn++, pH 5.8, aberrant polymerization of tubulin, temperature 305K

Unrefined crystallographic model of alpha-beta tubulin by electron crystallography

THE SAMPLE WAS BOVINE, BUT THE MODELED PROTEIN SEQUENCES ARE FROM SUS SCROFA (PIG). THE AUTHORS USED THE SEQUENCES FROM THE MOST ABUNDANT ISOTYPE OF PIG BRAIN TUBULIN. THE RESIDUES IN CHAIN B ARE NOT SEQUENTIALLY NUMBERED. RESIDUES 44 AND 47 AND RESIDUES 360 AND 369 ARE COVALENTLY BOUND.
