Biology

jeyben [28]4 years ago
4 0

Answer:

25nm

Explanation:

Microtubules are polymers of tubulin and they are part of the cytoskeleton. The roles of the microtubules are to maintain the shape and structure of the cell, intracellular transport, they are structural part of the cilia an flagella, they are involved in cell division etc.

Tubulin that is the basic unit of microtubules is composed of two globular proteins, alpha and beta tubulin. Alpha and beta subunits sponta­neously form dimers which then assemble into oligomers, then in chains (protofilaments); that can form a variety of intermediate structures such as single and double rings or spirals. Protofilaments that associate side-by-side  form sheets of protofilaments which then curle to form a tube or cylinder (closing of microtubule). Continued growth of microtubules occurs by the di­rect addition of more dimers on + side.

dexar [7]
A protein domain is a conserved part of a given protein sequence and (tertiary) structure that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. Each domain<span> forms a compact three-dimensional structure and often can be independently stable and folded.

On the other hand, a motif is a </span>distinctive sequence<span> on a protein or DNA, having a three-dimensional structure that allows binding interactions to occur. Early on, clustering was used to detect common three-dimensional structural motifs in </span>proteins<span>.
