Abstract
The mechanic and elastic properties of rhodamine phalloidin F-actin were investigated as a function of the ionic strength and in the absence of Mg2+. By increasing ionic strength from 3 to 19 mM, critical concentration decreased from 146 to 36 nM and the yield strength increased from 5.6 pN to 28.6 pN. At the ionic strength of 12-13 mM, the elastic modulus by stretching increased by 330-430 kP. nm-1 up to the break point, where it was 38-44.2 MP. The work required to break the filament, 403-439 kJ.M-1 provides an estimate of the free energy of annealing of rhodamine phalloidin F-actin, the annealing constant being 2.8 x 1074 M-1.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
