They are electrically polar and have collective vibration modes from kHz to low THz region. In approximation of microtubule subunits (tubulin molecules) as rigid particles, we calculate electric field generated by optical branch of axial longitudinal vibration modes of microtubule. This oscillatory electric field, due to its complex spatial distribution, may play an important role in cellular temporal and spatial organization Workplace Institute of Radio Engineering and Electronics Contact Petr Vacek, vacek@ufe.cz, Tel.: 266 773 413, 266 773 438, 266 773 488 Year of Publishing 2012
