Question
Chapter 5.5, Problem 2EQ
Summary Introduction
To describe: The characterstics of CHIP28 that led to the speculation about water transport by Agre and associates.
Introduction: There are various methods of the transportation and the movement of molecules from one region to another region of the cell. It includes various types of transport mechanism like active transport, facilitated transport, endocytosis, passive transport, and so on. Very often more than one transport mechanism is involved in the transport of a solute. Hence, overall rate of the transported solute maybe higher than individual rates of movement of solute.

- Suppose that you are carrying out studies of microtubule assembly via in vitro (in the test tube – not in the cell) assays. In a mixture of α-tubulin, β-tubulin, and abundant GTP, all suspended in a buffer that approximates cellular pH, you discover that you need the tubulin concentration to be at least 15 µM in order to observe any microtubule assembly. However, if you add centrosomes (including the proteins of the pericentriolar region) to your mixtures, you are able to observe microtubule assembly at concentrations of tubulin as low as 2 µM. At which end(s) of the microtubule would you expect addition of tubulin monomers to be occurring in your mixtures that include centrosomes?arrow_forwardSuppose that you are carrying out studies of microtubule assembly via in vitro (in the test tube – not in the cell) assays.
