Chiral Structure of F-actin Bundle Formed by Multivalent Counterions?

The mechanism of multivalent counterion-induced bundle formation by filamentous actin (F-actin) is studied using a coarse-grained model and molecular dynamics simulation. Real diameter size, helically ordered charge distribution and twist rigidity of F-actin are taken into account in our model. The...
