Question 8 Microtubule Polymerization Assay You are working in a lab that studies microtubule dynamics Being the eager researcher that you are you wake up at the crack of dawn on Monday morning to start your first in vitro experiment studying the dynamics of microtubule polymerization You add GTP and purified tubulin to a test tube and observe microtubule polymerization in vitro You take some samples at a few time points up until 11am but stop because you need to leave for Bio285 lecture you don t want to be late to Bio285 lecture after all and observe the following Bio285 F23 Topic 6 Problem Set Answer Key L2 time amount of polymer Francis A If you had more time to take additional timepoints over the next hour how would you expect the shape of the curve to change during that time Draw what the graph would look like and explain what is happening at the molecular level B If you continued to take time points throughout the night and into the next day how would you expect the shape of the curve to change Draw what the graph would look like and explain what is happening at the molecular level
