We report accurate optical measurements of tubulin polarizability in aqueous suspensions. We determined the dependence of polarizability on tubulin concentration and on the suspension's pH, providing benchmark numbers for quantifying the optical response of this protein in various artificial and cellular environments. We compare our measurement data with a few estimates found in the previous literature and also with our simplified model estimations.
我们报告了在水性悬浮液中对微管蛋白极化率的精确光学测量。我们确定了极化率对微管蛋白浓度和悬浮液pH值的依赖性，为量化该蛋白质在各种人工和细胞环境中的光学响应提供了基准数据。我们将测量数据与先前文献中的一些估计值以及我们的简化模型估计值进行了比较。
