Abstract:
:A consensus view on the three-dimensional structure of the F-actin filament and the relative strength of the intersubunit contacts in the filament has been established from an atomic filament model and recent three-dimensional reconstructions from electron micrographs of F-actin filaments. Functional implications of recent structural and biochemical data indicating a rather dynamic filament structure are discussed.
