  1. The abstract states 'PKA-phosphorylated tau (2.7 mol phosphates/mol) does not promote tubulin assembly as judged by spectrophotometric and atomic force microscopy measurements, unless trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO), a natural occurring osmolyte, is included in these assays.' This finding has potential implications for the mechanism of tau phosphorylation in microtubule binding.
