There were errors in the Figure 7 legend. The correct legend is: Figure 7: Changes in tubulin interactions due to presence of zinc. In the absence of zinc both longitudinal (dimer-dimer) interactions, and lateral (protofilament-protofilament) interactions, (A) and (B) respectively, behave at baseline (black arrows). Longitudinal interactions are not affected by zinc. Zinc bound to tubulin (affected areas in green) at region 1 or region 5, (C) and (D) respectively, has increased lateral interactions (larger arrows). Zinc bound to tubulin at region 1 and region 5, (E), have decreased lateral interactions (smaller arrows). However, when in the zinc sheet orientation, (F), zinc bound to tubulin at region 1 and region 5 can increase lateral interactions.
