Abstract
In this paper, we elaborate the nonlinear model based on ferroelectric properties of microtubules (MTs) and triggered by hydrolysis of GTP (guanosine triphosphate) followed by conversion of chemical energy into large conformational rotation of corresponding tubulin dimer. We attempted to elucidate some functional properties of microtubules pertaining kinesin motor protein on the basis of this elegant model
