Molecular Basis for Actin Polymerization Kinetics Modulated by Solution Crowding

Actin polymerization drives cell movement and provides cells with structural integrity. Intracellular environments contain high concentrations of solutes, including organic compounds, macromolecules, and proteins. Macromolecular crowding has been shown to affect actin filament stability and bulk pol...
