- Abstract
- Tubulin is a fascinating molecule that forms the cytoskeleton of the cells and plays an important role in cell division and trafficking of molecules. It polymerizes and depolymerizes in order to fulfill this biological function. This function can be modulated by small molecules that interfere with the polymerization or the depolymerization. In this article, the structural basis of this behavior is reviewed with special attention to the contribution of NMR spectroscopy. Complex structures of small molecules that bind to tubulin and microtubules will be discussed. Many of them have been determined using NMR spectroscopy, which proves to be an important method in tubulin research.
