Abstract
Photon correlation spectroscopic measurements on monomeric actin have yielded a translational diffusion constant of 8.13×10−7 cm2 s−1 after correction for the contribution of the back-reflections of the main beam. This value corresponds to a sphere with a radius of 2.6 nm and 50% hydration, or to a prolate ellipsoid with axes 2.0 and 4.0 nm and 30% hydration.This publication has 14 references indexed in Scilit:
