Amicrotubule appears as a left-handed helix due to an approximately 0.9-nm stagger in the lateral contacts between adjacent protofilaments. in the lateral contacts, α- and β-tubulins in one protofilament interact with α- and β-tubulins, respectively, in the neighboring protofilament, except for a longitudinal discontinuity along the microtubule called the seam. along the seam, lateral contacts have to be made between different tubulins (i. e. α-tubulin with β-tubulin). which of the following do you think is acceptable as the repeat distance of tubulin monomers along a protofilament? a. 4 nmb. 5 nmc. 6 nmd. 7 nme. 10 nm

Th acceptable distance of tubulin monomers along a protofilament is : A. 4nm

Explanation:

MICROTUBULES are an important component of the cytoskeleton of eukaryotic cells. Its function is part of a structural role that helps define cell morphology, and also serves as an intracellular motor for some proteins such as kinesin and dynein.  

For the correct formation of the structures called microtubules to occur, a process called polymerization is required. In this process there is a head-to-tail junction in which the dimer junction between tubulines forms a structure called protofilaments and those protofilaments run along the microtubule. Then, the other process occurs in which, by lateral interactions between the structures mentioned above , the wall of The microtubule will be completed.

stress fractures occur largely in the feet and legs and are common in sports that require repetitive impact, primarily running/jumping sports such as gymnastics or track and field.
