Emission spectra of tubulin in monomeric form (dotted curve), in
taxol-induced polymer (dashed curve) and in 2-AB-taxol-induced polymer
(solid curve) in PMEG buffer. The concentrations of 2-AB-taxol and
tubulin were 30 M and
10
M, respectively. The excitation
wavelength was 450 nm. Inset:
The region from 410 - 550 nm of the dashed and solid curves,
enlarged to show emission from 2-AB-taxol bound to the polymer.
