Mechanical behavior of actin and spectrin subjected to high strain rate: A molecular dynamics simulation study
Recent nanoscopy and super-resolution microscopy studies have substantiated the structural contribution of periodic actin-spectrin lattice to the axonal cytoskeleton of neuron. However, sufficient mechanical insight is not present for spectrin and actin-spectrin network, especially in high strain ra...
