The state of the filament.

چکیده
Movement is a defining characteristic of life. Macroscopic motion is driven by the dynamic interactions of myosin with actin filaments in muscle. Directed polymerization of actin behind the advancing membrane of a eukaryotic cell generates microscopic movement. Despite the fundamental importance of actin in these processes, the structure of the actin filament remains unknown. The Holmes model of the actin filament was published 15 years ago, and although it has been widely accepted, no high-resolution structural data have yet confirmed its veracity. Here, we review the implications of recently determined structures of F-actin-binding proteins for the structure of the actin filament and suggest a series of in silico tests for actin-filament models. We also review the significance of these structures for the arp2/3-mediated branched filament.

Topical application with 100, 200 and 300 ng/ml phytohormone salicyclic acid on commercial traits was analysed in bivoltine CSR2, CSR4 and CSR2XCSR4 crossbreed races of the silkworm, Bombyx mori L. The results showed that there was significant increase in larval weight female cocoon weight, male cocoon shell weight, and hatching percentage with 100 and 200 ng/ml, silkgland weight, female cocoo...
متن کاملThe Effect of Matrix Bond Failure on Stress Distribution in Short and Long Fibers of a Hybrid Composite Lamina
Abstract : The effect of a bond failure and its extent is studied on stress concentration in long fibers as well as stress distribution in short fibers and their surrounding matrix bays. The material is assumed to be a finite width hybrid composite lamina which is subjected to a tensile load of magnitude "P" at infinity. The surrounding matrix is assumed to take only shear (shear-lag theory). T...
متن کاملOPTIMUM DESIGN OF FILAMENT–WOUND LAMINATED CONICAL SHELLS FOR BUCKLING USING THE PENALTY FUNCTION
Optimum laminate configuration for minimum weight of filament–wound laminated conical shells subject to buckling load constraint is investigated. In the case of a laminated conical shell the thickness and the ply orientation (the design variables) are functions of the shell coordinates, influencing both the buckling load and its weight. These effects complicate the optimization problem consider...
