Reaction mixtures contained 1.0 mg/mL tubulin, 0.6 M monosodium glutamate (pH 6.6), 1.0 mM MgCl2, compounds at the indicated concentrations, and 4% dimethyl sulfoxide. Incubation was for 20 min at 0 °C, with centrifugation as described in the text. The protein concentration in the supernatants was compared to the protein concentration in uncentrifuged samples to determine the % tubulin in the polymer pellets.
Compound concentrations were 30 μM.
Compound concentrations were 60 μM.
Compound concentrations were 15 μM.
