Polymerization and Bundling Kinetics of FtsZ Filaments

FtsZ is a tubulin homolog essential for prokaryotic cell division. In living bacteria, FtsZ forms a ringlike structure (Z-ring) at the cell midpoint. Cell division coincides with a gradual contraction of the Z-ring, although the detailed molecular structure of the Z-ring is unknown. To reveal the st...
