<b>Actin</b> is a family of globular multi-functional proteins that form microfilaments. It is 
found in essentially all eukaryotic cells where it may be present at a&nbsp;... Microfilaments, also called <b>actin filaments</b>, are protein filaments in the cytoplasm 
of eukaryotic cells that form part of the cytoskeleton.They are primarily&nbsp;... Microfilaments, also known as <b>actin filaments</b>, are composed of linear polymers 
of G-actin proteins, and generate force when the growing (plus) end of the 
filament&nbsp;... Treadmilling is a phenomenon observed in many cellular cytoskeletal filaments, 
especially in <b>actin filaments</b> and microtubules. It occurs when one end of a&nbsp;... The interaction between <b>actin</b> and myosin <b>filaments</b> in the A-band of the 
sarcomere is responsible for the muscle contraction (sliding <b>filament</b> model). 
Contraction[&nbsp;... The mechanism of <b>actin filament</b> initiation by Arp2/3 has been disputed. The 
question is where the complex binds the filament and nucleates a &quot;daughter&quot;&nbsp;... ADF/cofilin is a family of actin-binding proteins which disassembles <b>actin</b> 
<b>filaments</b>. Three highly conserved and highly (70%-82%) identical genes 
belonging to&nbsp;... Cytoskeletal drugs are small molecules that interact with actin or tubulin. These 
drugs can act on the cytoskeletal components within a cell in three main ways. 
Some cytoskeletal drugs stabilize a component of the cytoskeleton, such as taxol 
which stabilizes microtubules or Phalloidin which stabilizes <b>actin filaments</b>. Stress fibers are contractile <b>actin</b> bundles found in non-muscle cells. They are 
composed of <b>actin</b> (microfilaments) and non-muscle myosin II (NMMII), and also&nbsp;... Note that the <b>actin</b> and myosin <b>filaments</b> themselves do not change length, but 
instead slide past each other. This is known as the sliding <b>filament</b> theory of 
muscle&nbsp;...
