Actin polymerization treadmilling kinetics

Layer 3 — Biologyin the Cytoskeleton And Motility subtree

Polar actin filaments grow at the (+) barbed end and shrink at the (-) pointed end at steady state when [G-actin] lies between the two critical concentrations c_+ and c_-; net monomer flux = (k_on^+ - k_on^-)[G] yielding directional…
