Microtubule-cyclodextrin conjugate: functionalization of motile filament with molecular inclusion ability.
A microtubule-beta-cyclodextrin conjugate was prepared on a kinesin-adsorbed glass surface by chemical and biochemical means. Fluorescence microscope observation and a motility assay indicated that the conjugate simultaneously expressed an inherent motor function and an inclusion property.
