Microtubule Formation in vitro in Solutions Containing Low Calcium Concentrations
Abstract
Isolated rat brain tubulin can be repolymerized in vitro in solutions containing adenosine triphosphate or guanosine triphosphate, magnesium ions, and a good calcium chelator. The extreme sensitivity of tubulin to calcium ions explains the failure of previous efforts to obtain polymerization and suggests a possible mechanism for regulation of microtubule polymerization in vivo.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
