Abstract

We measure the viscoelasticity of entangled F-actin over length scales between $1$ and $100\text{ }\ensuremath{\mu}\mathrm{m}$ using one- and two-particle microrheology, and directly identify two distinct microscopic contributions to the elasticity. Filament entanglements lead to a frequency-independent elastic modulus over an extended frequency range of $0.01--30\text{ }\mathrm{r}\mathrm{a}\mathrm{d}/\mathrm{sec}$; this is probed with one-particle microrheology. Longitudinal fluctuations of the filaments increase the elastic modulus between 0.1 and $30\text{ }\mathrm{r}\mathrm{a}\mathrm{d}/\mathrm{sec}$ at length scales up to the filament persistence length; this is probed by two-particle microrheology.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
