In Vitro Assembly Kinetics of Cytoplasmic Intermediate Filaments: A Correlative Monte Carlo Simulation Study.

Intermediate filament (IF) elongation proceeds via full-width "mini-filaments", referred to as "unit-length" filaments (ULFs), which instantaneously form by lateral association of extended coiled-coil complexes after assembly is initiated. In a comparatively much slower process,...
