Figure 4

Typical three dimensional, cross-linked actin network used in this study. The actin filaments and cross-links are modeled as elastic rods. Shown is the Von Mises stress distribution calculated using the finite element method when the network undergoes shear in the 1-2 plane. Units are in MPa.
