This week we have more sessions of #CrazyAboutBiomedicine! Today we are learning about #microtubules with Aamir Ali from @LudersLab !

Avui els #BojosPerLaBiomedicina aprenen què són els microtúbuls de la cèl·lula amb l'Aamir Ali del laboratori @LudersLab !

Do YOU know what microtubules are inside cells?
Sabeu VOSALTRES què són els microtúbuls?
And today, hard core chemistry 🧪💪 with Marina Bellido 👩‍🔬 from @URSAchemlab talking about catalysts (or how to speed up a reaction🏃‍♀️)!

I avui química pura i dura 🧪💪 amb la Marina Bellido👩‍🔬 de @URSAchemlab parlant sobre catalitzadors (pq una reacció vagi més ràpid🏃‍♀️)! ImageImageImage

Delighted to share with you a new exciting #publication in @eLife from my previous lab at @CIB_CSIC that finally came out today.
This paper challenges the previously accepted model of how #microtubules / #tubulin #estructure changes upon #GTP #hydrolysis.

Microtubule #lattice #expansion has been previously thought to be consequence of GTP hydrolysis.
In this work, thank to the use of several #biochemical, #biophysical, and #bioinformatics techniques, showed that the #tubulindimmer expansion does not occur upon hydrolysis.
Microtubules shear-flow alignment and X-ray #fibrediffraction experiments together with #CryoEM data, and different use of analogues showed that #GDP-#BeF3 dimmers resembles the GTP bound state of tubulin, since BeF3 mimics the gamma-phosphate function of GTP, stabilising the MTs
