• Test polymerization in the presence of microtubule / tubulin binding proteins.
• Test conditions that may perturb MAP binding.
  
  

Introduction
This kit is intended for those researchers who are not accustomed to working with tubulin protein in vitro.  The contents of this kit will allow you to reproducibly prepare microtubules of a predetermined mean length.  After polymerization the microtubules can be used directly or stabilized with taxol before use, depending upon the needs of your experimental system.

Kit contents
The kit contains enough materials for 8-200 assays depending on experimental setup. The following components are included:

1. 8 x 250 µg Tubulin, >99% pure (Cat. # TL238)
2. General Tubulin Buffer (Cat. # BST01)
3. GTP (Cat. # BST06)
4. Microtubule glycerol Buffer (Cat. # BST05)
5. Taxol Stock Solution (Cat. # TXD01)
6. Dry DMSO
7. Manual with detailed protocols and extensive troubleshooting guide
