Microtubules, which are thought to be the primary organizers of the cytoskeleton, are electrical polar structures with extraordinary elastic deformability at low stress and with energy supply from hydrolysis of guanosine triphosphate /GTP/ to guanosine disphosphate /GDP/. Energy supplied from hydrolysis can excite vibrations as the viscous damping is dimished by a slip layer which is formed by an attracted ionic charge layer and by a thin surface layer of the microtubule.
