Actin Patterning for Bio-molecular Motors

摘要

An actin patterning technique to control bio-molecular motor is described. A glass substrate coated by Poly-L-Lysine (PLL) for two hours was found to have the best improvement in the adhesion of actin filaments to glass. The difference of actin density between PLL coated area and glass area was clearly captured by a fluorescent microscope. It was confirmed that myosin coated micro-beads were captured by rhodamin-phalloidin labeled actin.
