Millimeter-sized belt-like pattern formation of actin filaments in solution by interacting with surface myosin in vitro

The movements of single actin filaments along a myosin-fixed glass surface were observed under a conventional fluorescence microscope. Although random at a low concentration, moving directions of filaments were aligned by the presence of over 1.0 mg/mL of unlabeled filaments. We found that actin fil...
