The free energy profile of tubulin straight-bent conformational changes, with implications for microtubule assembly and drug discovery

αβ-tubulin dimers need to convert between a 'bent' conformation observed for free dimers in solution and a 'straight' conformation required for incorporation into the microtubule lattice. Here, we investigate the free energy landscape of αβ-tubulin using molecular dynamics simula...
