Tilted cuvettes filled with an actin gel allow to observe the gel's flow behavior. Left side: ATP depleted conditions lead to non-motile myosin motors that essentially function as cross-linkers. Right side: in the presence of ATP, the motors are active and increase the filament transport making the gel significantly more fluid-like [97].
