GTP is often hydrolyzed into GDP in the alpha-tubulin, which weakens the affinity for the tubulin dimer to the adjacent molecules.
A sustained GTP cap prevents a microtubule from depolymerizing.
Microtubules and tubulin building blocks both have polarity.
Assembly and disassembly of microtubules is typically fastest at the plus end in a living cell.Identify if each of the following statements about tubulin are true or false.?
They all seem true to me...
