Abstract
The proposed research programme addresses the BBSRCs mission is seeking to characterise structurally the novel mechanism of interaction between doublecortin and microtubules using state-of-the-art techniques. This will provide insight into the ways in which the microtubule cytoskeleton is regulated, particularly in motile neurones during brain development. The methods developed during this structural project will be generally applicable to other cytoskeletal arrays.
