01 /Applications

Tubulin Self-Association Studies

Used as a GDP methylene analog to investigate the mechanisms behind vinblastine-induced self-association of tubulin, a key component of the cytoskeleton.

Bacterial Cytokinesis Research

Serves as an alternative to calcium ions in promoting the formation of helical tubes, facilitating the study of bacterial division via cytokinetic ring (Z-ring) assembly.

Nucleotide Analog Research

Employed in comparative studies with similar nucleotide analogs, such as GMPCPP, to understand hydrolysis rates and structural implications.

Applicationα,β-Methyleneguanosine 5′-diphosphate (GPCP; GMPCP) is a GDP methylene analog used to study vinblastine-induced self-association of tubulin. GMPCP is used as an alternative to calcium to produce helical tubes that support bacterial division via assembly of cytokinetic ring structures, Z-rings. GMPCP may be used in comparison with the more slowly hydrolyzed analog guanylyl-(α,β)-methylene-diphosphonate (GMPCPP).
