Structural basis for polarized elongation of actin filaments
V Zsolnay, HH Katkar, SZ Chou… - Proceedings of the …, 2020 - National Acad Sciences
Actin filaments elongate and shorten much faster at their barbed end than their pointed end,
but the molecular basis of this difference has not been understood. We use all-atom …
