The understanding of actin structure and function has been improved by comparing the atomic structure of G-actin, the model of the F-actin structure, and the properties of actin mutants. Several aspects of actin structure have been tested and good progress has been made in mapping its myosin-binding sites. The dynamic properties of actin and genetic evaluation of its cellular function are attracting increasing attention.
