Test binding activity of known or proteins or compounds to tubulin or microtubules.
Test polymerization in the presence of microtubule / tubulin binding proteins.
Test conditions that may perturb MAP binding.
Introduction This kit is intended for those researchers who are not accustomed to working with tubulin protein in vitro. The contents of this kit will allow you to reproducibly prepare microtubules of a predetermined mean length. After polymerization the microtubules can be used directly or stabilized with taxol before use, depending upon the needs of your experimental system.
