Abstract

Tubulin is an important molecular target in cancer chemotherapy. Antimitotic agents able to bind to the protein are currently under study, commonly used in the clinic to treat a variety of cancers and/or exploited as probes to investigate the protein's structure and function. Here we report the binding modes for a series of colchicinoids, combretastatin A4 and chalcones established from docking studies carried out on the structure of tubulin in complex with ...
