Ribbon diagram of a tubulin dimer, whose structure has been solved to 3.7 Å resolution. GTP, GDP and taxol are shown as CPK models, with GDP at the top, bound to β tubulin, and GTP in the middle, bound to the α subunit. This is the view as seen from inside a microtubule, with the plus end at the top.
