Cross-linker binding strength influences actin assembly microstructure and myosin II driven remodeling
The actin cytoskeleton is a self-assembled material that acts as the mechanical scaffold of the cell. Within the cell, protein cross-linkers organize actin filaments into assemblies with various microstructures that support distinct physiological functions. These protein cross-linkers differ in structural features. To...
