Figure 3. Nuclear actin undergoes creep under constantly applied stress.

Figure 3

(a) Creep response for an individual bead at a force of 1.4 pN. Top shows applied force, and bottom shows displacement. (b) Averaged creep compliance as a function of time for different applied force (blue = 0.6 pN, green = 0.8 pN, and red = 1.4 pN) for the untreated nucleus, where n = 6, 4, and 7 nuclei, respectively. Black line represents fit for combined data based on viscoelastic model. Inset shows schematic of extended Kelvin-Voigt model.
