"From
Table 1 [researchers] observe that the shear and Young's moduli
are significantly different. This observation describes an
anisotropic material. Hence, MTs (microtubules) are inhomogeneous and
anisotropic. The bending deformation and stretching of
filaments are governed by Young's modulus and the sliding
between filaments is governed by the shear modulus [5]." |
