External electric field effects on the mechanical properties of the αβ-tubulin dimer of microtubules: a molecular dynamics study

The mechanical properties of the αβ-tubulin dimer of microtubules was modeled by using the molecular dynamics (MD) simulation method. The effect on the mechanical properties of the dimer of the existence and nonexistence of an applied electric field, either constant or periodic, was studied. Since t...
