Considering the hollow and periodic structure of microtubule(MT),the protofilaments of the MT are regarded as a one-dimensional ferroelectric system.Each aβ dimer unit can be treated as a"double potential well"model,and the mobile electron may be in"α potential well"also in"βpotential well",corresponding to two pseudo-spin quantum states in the direction of up and down respectively.The relationship between the dimers interaction energy of a protofilament on the MT wall and MT lengths was investigated by the"pseudo-spin"quantum theory.
