Microtubule proteins, biochemical properties

There has been an intensive examination of the biochemical properties of microtubule proteins over the past 15 years, and most of the work has focused on proteins derived from neural systems. For convenience, we will deal with the molecular properties of tubulin first and then collectively consider the so-called microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs).
