Thermo- and photo-enhanced microtubule formation from Ru(bpy)32+-conjugated tubulin

Abstract

Ru(bpy)32+-conjugated tubulin is able to substantially enhance polymerization to form microtubules with increased rate at lower temperatures. Additionally, the polymerization is enhanced by photo-irradiation and the possible mechanism is discussed focusing on the photo-thermal energy conversion.
