Actin networks rely on nucleation mechanisms to generate new filaments because de-novo nucleation is kinetically disfavored. Branching nucleation of actin filaments by Arp2/3, in particular, is critical for actin ...

Cells employ networks of filamentous biopolymers to achieve shape changes and exert migratory forces. As the networks offer structural integrity to a cell, they are referred to as the cytoskeleton. Actin is an essential ...
