Dynamic instability of microtubules. GFP-labeled tubulin monomers are constantly assembled at the microtubule tips to elongate the filamentous structure (shown as green), but often rapidly disassembled. This constant polymerization and depolymerization cycle (aka dynamic instability) is a unique property of microtubules.

  • I don't get why microtubules do this; seems like a waste of resources going from small to large and back again all the time

  • What's the time frame of this process?
