Definition of Protofilaments. Meaning of Protofilaments. Synonyms of Protofilaments

- the parallel ****ociation of thirteen protofilaments, although microtubules composed of fewer or more protofilaments have been observed in various species ...
- microtubules in vivo, and suggested that these microtubules comprise only five protofilaments, in contrast to eukaryotic microtubules, which usually contain 13. Subsequent...
- alginolyticus, the filament is made up of 11 protofilaments approximately parallel to the filament axis. Each protofilament is a series of tandem protein chains...
- a dynamic scaffold model, in which small clusters of FtsZ protofilaments or protofilament bundles move unidirectionally around the ring's cir****ference...
- (lumen diameter of approximately 15 nm), most commonly comprising 13 protofilaments that, in turn, are polymers of alpha and beta tubulin. They have a very...
- structure. Amyloid fibrils are generally composed of 1–8 protofilaments (one protofilament also corresponding to a fibril is shown in the figure), each...
- FtsZ ****embles into protofilaments that are one subunit thick, which can further ****ociate into small patches of parallel protofilaments. Single filaments...
- antiparallel arrangement, to form a tetramer called a protofilament. Eight of these protofilaments form a lateral arrangement that is twisted to form a...
- daughter cells. At the core of this protein complex is the Z-ring- protofilaments that ****emble around the cell at the specific site of cell division...
- interactions between FtsZ protofilaments, in contrast to FtsA, which keeps FtsZ protofilaments apart. As FtsZ protofilament bundling may be important...
