[00:37:23] <exec> 08└─Microtubules bind GTP and can assemble with each other to form polymers. Their assembly is regulated by the hydrolysis of the nucleotide GTP, which results in a change in the protein's shape, that affects its strength of association with other microtubules.

[01:37:35] <exec> 08└─The protein binds a single GTP. The hydrolysis of the GTP removes a phosphate and produces GDP. The protein bound to GDP assumes a different shape than when the guanosine had three phosphates. The change in shape destabilises the lattice of microtubules and can result in their disassembly.
