text: The dynamic properties of MTs were apparent to early cytologists, who depicted mitotic spindles as compositions of linear elements whose arrangement changed rapidly with time (Wilson 1928).
text: A second general property of MTs and actin filaments that arises from the direct coupling of polymerization dynamics to NTP hydrolysis is the potential for polymerization and depolymerization to perform mechanical work.
