Figure 8

Lumenal view of paclitaxel (green spacefill) bound to a straight protofilament of a microtubule as solved by Lowe et al.221 Note that paclitaxel is bound completely in the β-subunit of the dimer. The green vector shows the direction of growth of a straight protofilament, to which the tubulin–paclitaxel vector is aligned.
