Nucleus size estimated by parameter q as defined by Oosawa and Kasai (17). Various amounts of tubulin are polymerized at 37°C. Parameter q is determined by the log-log plot of the tenth time of the reaction against the initial tubulin concentration. The inset shows the determination of this parameter for tubulin control. Parameter q ± standard deviation is determined successively with 25 nM TOGp 200, 1 μM taxol and 1 μM colchicine in a solution containing 0.5% DMSO. The control with tubulin alone is realised both in the presence and in the absence of 0.5% DMSO.
