Microtubules are electrically polar structures fulfilling prerequisites for generation of oscillatory electric field in the kHz to GHz region. Energy supply for excitation of elasto-electrical vibrations in microtubules may be provided from GTP-hydrolysis; motor protein-microtubule interactions; and energy efflux from mitochondria. We calculated electric field generated by axial longitudinal vibration modes of microtubules for random, and coherent excitation. In case of coherent excitation of vibrations, the electric field intensity is highest at the end of microtubule. The dielectrophoretic force exerted by electric field on the surrounding molecules will influence the kinetics of microtubule polymerization via change in the probability of the transport of charge and mass particles. The electric field generated by vibrations of electrically polar cellular structures is expected to play an important role in biological self-organization.
微管是具有电极性的结构,满足在千赫兹至吉赫兹范围内产生振荡电场的先决条件。微管中弹性电振动激发的能量供应可能来自鸟苷三磷酸(GTP)水解、驱动蛋白 - 微管相互作用以及线粒体的能量外流。我们计算了微管轴向纵向振动模式在随机激发和相干激发下产生的电场。在振动的相干激发情况下,微管末端的电场强度最高。电场对周围分子施加的介电泳力将通过改变电荷和质量粒子传输的概率来影响微管聚合的动力学。由电极性细胞结构振动产生的电场预计在生物自组织中发挥重要作用。
