"[Researchers'] data on lamellipodial thickness and F-actin density in
fibroblasts can be combined with previous studies on actin
dynamics to quantify several important features of actin
assembly at the leading edge (Table 2). These include 1) the
density of assembling filament ends at the lamellipodial
margin, 2) the volume density of F-actin, 3) the minimum
concentration gradient of unassembled actin at the margin
required to support assembly, and 4) the maximum force
and pressure that actin assembly could generate at the leading
edge. The following sections discuss the important points with
regard to the calculations summarized in Table 2." |
