text: As GTP-bound protofilaments are straight, with multiple lateral contacts, assembly into the final cylindrical conformation is therefore dependent upon GTP hydrolysis.
text: Within MTs, protofilaments are relatively straight, whereas the depolymerization products of MTs are often highly curved protofilament oligomers (Kirschner 1978, Mandelkow & Mandelkow 1985, Mandelkow et al 1991,
text: Structural studies indicated that, while the protofilament composed of GTP–tubulin is almost straight, the natural conformation of the protofilament of GDP-tubulin is curved outward from the wall of the microtubule (Wang and Nogales, 2005; Nogales and Wang, 2006).
