Actin

• ActinSimChem for modeling actin dynamics {{#info: Halavatyi 2009 [1]}}
• Flexuraly rigidity persistence strength/length of an actin filament is ~ 17.7 µm {{#info: Fredrick 1993 }}
• Hippocampal LTP is accompanied by enhanced F-actin content within the dendritic spine that is essential for late LTP maintenance in vivo. {{#info: Fukazawa [2]}}
• Theta stimulation polymerizes actin in dendritic spines of hippocampus {{#info: Lin Jneuro }}
• overexpressed PSD95 is coupled with a modest (but significant) increase in spine size {{#info: Ehrlich Malinow [3]}}
