Critical Motor Number for Fractional Steps of Cytoskeletal Filaments in Gliding Assays

In gliding assays, filaments are pulled by molecular motors that are immobilized on a solid surface. By varying the motor density on the surface, one can control the number [Image: see text] of motors that pull simultaneously on a single filament. Here, such gliding assays are studied theoretically...
