Fis gure 11.2 Assembly and structure of actin fila ments (A)Actin monomers(G actin) polymerize to form actin filaments (F actin). The first slep is the formation of dimers and trimers, which then grow by the addition of monomers to both ends.(B)Structure of an actin monomer(C")Space-filling model of F actin. Nine actin monomers an rpr nted in different colors. (O Dan Richardson

(B)Arrangement of actin mole cules in an actin filament, Each filament may be thought of as a two-stranded helix with a twist repeating every 37 nm. Strong interactions between the two strands pre vent the strands from separating, (C)The identical subunits of an actin filament are depicted in different colors to emphasize the close interaction between each actin molecule and its four nearest neighbors (A, courtesy of Roger Craig: C, from K.C.
