Computational Analysis of Viscoelastic Properties of Crosslinked Actin Networks
Figure 8
Effects of bending stiffnesses of ACPC, κb,ACP,1 and κb,ACP,2, on G′ and G″.
The network is crosslinked by ACPC with and without prestrain (R = 0.021). Solid symbols: G′, open symbols: G″. κb,ACP = control (black circles), 10-fold decrease (magenta triangles), 100-fold decrease (blue inverted triangles), and 0 (green diamonds) (A) γ = 0, (B) γ = 0.4, (C) γ = 0.55. The effects of changes in κb,ACP on G′ are the greatest in the network with γ = 0.4.
