Physical characteristics of actin

Characteristic	Measurement	Reference
Length increment per actin monomer	δ = 2.75 nm	Holmes et al., 1990
Diameter of filamentous actin	ε = 7–9 nm	Holmes et al., 1990
Polymerization force of actin	f_a between 1 and 9 pN	See Fig. 2
Concentration of actin monomers	C = ∼15–500 µM in nonmuscle cells; C = ∼30–60 µM in fission yeast	Wu and Pollard, 2005; Footer et al., 2007
