Elastic modulus for differently stabilized single microtubules of different lengths. (a) Stabilization with 10 µM Taxol, MT end oscillation direction: longitudinal. N = 8 measurements for short and N = 19 measurements for long microtubules. (b) Stabilization with 100 µM Taxol, MT end oscillation direction: longitudinal. N = 9 measurements each length. (c) Stabilization with GMPCPP + 100 µM Taxol, MT end oscillation directions: longitudinal (solid black line) and lateral (dashed black line). N = 9 measurements each direction. (d) Frequency dependent persistence lengths obtained from the elastic moduli for all filament types. Error bars represent the standard deviation (SD).
