Force-velocity measurements of a few growing actin filaments.

Force-velocity measurements of a few growing actin filaments.

The polymerization of actin in filaments generates forces that play a pivotal role in many cellular processes. We introduce a novel technique to determine the force-velocity relation when a few independent anchored filaments grow between magnetic colloidal particles. When a magnetic field is applied...
