Actin Filaments
Actin filaments
Microfilaments contain actin filaments. They are the thinnest filaments of the cytoskeleton, which is a structure found in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells.
providing structure support and involved in movement.
add radiolabeled actin subunits to a mixture of actin filaments in which conditions are favorable for polymerization.
No. They are polymers of actin that form 'filaments'. Membranes in eukaryotic cells are composed of a 'lipid bilayer'
Myosin
Thick filaments are made of the protein myosin and thin filaments are made of the protein actin. Myosin and actin filaments are arranged to form and overlapping pattern which gives muscle tissue its striated appearance.
