Abstract: The glutaraldehyde fixation method for fixing tissues is attractive for its ease of use and straightforward surface chemistry. We investigated the effect of glutaraldehyde-induced microtubule immobilization on kinesin-driven cargo transport along microtubules and found that at low glutaraldehyde concentrations, the microtubule-kinesin interaction remains unperturbed. Such findings may facilitate the application of the glutaraldehyde fixation method for many in vitro studies aiming to build nanodevices powered by the microtubule-motor protein interaction.
