arXiv Preprint Archive May 11, 2005 Andreas Mershin, Hugo Sanabria, John H. Miller et al.
It has become increasingly evident that fabrication of novel biomaterials through molecular self-assembly is going to play a significant role in material science and possibly the information technology of the future. Tubulin, microtubules (MTs) and the cytoskeleton are dynamic, self-assembling systems and we asked whether their structure and function contain the clues on how to fabricate...
