Summary
- Key finding:
- Comet tail assays quantifying the actin network structure right at the onset of motility, for varying protein (such as CP and Arp2/3) concentrations. They propose a predictive phase diagram of these concentrations (similar to [@akinCappingProteinIncreases2008]) showing the necessary conditions for effective force production.
- Method:
- Limitations:
- Notes in my words:
Different bead radii used?
- ⏳ 2026-01-30 , I see two different bead radii (4.5 um and 6um) listed. Maybe I can use their results to compare with my simulations, will have to read this part in detail.
