Microtubules

[George Vondassow]

Hi,

Manfred Schliwa wrote an excellent reference book on the cytoskeleton 
that, unlike recent books that I have run across, includes a large amount of 
information on not only molecular biology but also biochemistry, 
ultrastructure, and function of microtubules, microfilaments, and 
intermediate filaments.  Although this book is old ( c 1986), all the 
information is still useful.  Some of it even seems to have been 
forgotten.  Much of Schliwa's work has concerned functional interactions 
among cytoskeletal assemblies, and he has included several sections in 
the book that are illuminating.  I very much recommend it; the reference 
is:
