In that case we have to consult a dictionary or have to google the word.So here I am to give general overview of terms related to microbiology as much as possible. In coming days I will write detailed work and new research findings about the topic. So today the word is actin. Definition A cellular protein that give important contribution in muscle and cell contraction in connection with myosin protein is called actin. Properties Actin protein is a monomeric subunit of microfilament which is one of the major component of cytoskeleton and it is also a part of contractile apparatus of muscle cell. Mass: 47 kDa Diameter: 4-7nm Forms G-actin:- It is a monomeric globular protein. F-actin : - It is a polymeric fibrous actin. Presence Most abundant protein in eukaryotic cells. Actin present in cytoplasm of cel...
