Effect of trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) on the conformation of microtubules (MTs)

Caption

Fluorescence microscopy images of kinesin-driven MTs reveal the effect of trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) on the conformation of microtubules (MTs). With an increase in the concentration of TMAO, provided below the images, the MTs became more flexible; scale bar: 5 µm (Arif Md. Rashedul Kabir, et al. ACS Omega, January 24, 2022).
