Refer to Table 1 to view the kinetic constants of Paclitaxel association and dissociation from cross-linked microtubules at different temperatures (25°C-40°C).
The free energy of the binding of Paclitaxel at 37°C is around -45kJ/mol. The binding reaction is endothermic, which explains why Paclitaxel induces microtubule assembly at low temperatures. <ref name="jose" />
