| Method |
(For this research, table has values from other researches) Researchers report a new approach to obtain the flexural rigidity
by means of well-controlled active experiments using optical
tweezers to bend the filaments locally, as schematically depicted
in Figure 1. In this way force-extension curves were measured
for taxol-stabilized microtubules and rhodamine-phalloidin labeled
actin filaments. |
| Comments |
The EI (flexural rigidity) values and persistence lengths reported in the literature
for actin filaments do largely agree on values of EI˜7×10^-26N×m^2 and Lp˜17µm with some outliers at up to about four
times lower values |
