Microtubules are filamentous proteins that act as a substrate for the translocation of motor proteins. As such, they may be envisioned as a scaffold for the self-assembly of functional materials and devices. Physisorption, self-assembly and combing are here investigated as a potential prelude to microtubule-templated self-assembly. Dense films of self-assembled microtubules were successfully produced, as well as patterns of both dendritic and non-dendritic bundles of microtubules. They are presented in the present paper and the mechanism of their formation is discussed.
微管是丝状蛋白，可作为马达蛋白易位的底物。因此，可以将它们设想为自组装功能材料和器件的支架。本研究考察了物理吸附、自组装和梳理作为微管模板自组装的潜在前奏。成功制备了自组装微管的致密膜，以及树突状和非树突状微管束的图案。本文介绍了它们的形成机制。
