Affinity of alpha-actinin for actin determines the structure and mechanical properties of actin filament gels by Wachsstock, D.H., Schwartz, W.H., Pollard, T.D.

“…Proteins that cross-link actin filaments can either form bundles of parallel filaments or isotropic networks of individual filaments. We have found that…”
