How capping protein enhances actin filament growth and nucleation on biomimetic beads

Capping protein (CP), which caps the growing ends of actin filaments, accelerates actin-based motility. Recent experiments on biomimetic beads have shown that CP also enhances the rate of actin filament nucleation. Proposed explanations for these phenomena include i) the Actin Funneling Hypothesis (...
