| Method |
Single-molecule microscopy |
| Comments |
The highest depolymerization rates measured during the saturation
phases ranged from 2.5 to 4 µm/min in different experiments.
This is similar to the velocity of movement of individual
Kip3p-EGFP molecules measured under single-molecule
conditions (3.2±0.3µm/min). |
