Stored elastic energy powers the 60-μm extension of the Limulus polyphemus sperm actin bundle
During the 5 s of the acrosome reaction of Limulus polyphemus sperm, a 60-μm-long bundle of scruin-decorated actin filaments straightens from a coiled conformation and extends from the cell. To identify the motive force for this movement, we examined the possible sources of chemical and mechanical e...
