Abstract

Poly (L-lysine) was found to enhance colchicine binding activity of brain tubulin to a several folds. Bases of biological interests that were tested and found to be inactive were spermine, spermidine and even L-lysine. Part of this enhance binding is due to the increase in the affinity of colchicine-tubulin interaction in the presence of poly (L-lysine). Moreover, poly (L-lysine) stabilized the colchicine binding site of tubulin against thermal denaturation.
