Microtubules are important structures in cytoskeleton which organizes the cell. Single microtubule is composed of electrically polar structures, tubulin heterodimers, which have strong electric dipole moment. Vibrations are expected to be generated in microtubules, thus tubulin heterodimers as electric dipoles are oscillating. This gives rise to electromagnetic field, which is detected around the cells. We calculate here the electromagnetic field of microtubules if they are excited at 1 GHz. This paper includes the work done in bachelor thesis of the first author.
