A consensus view on the three-dimensional structure of the F-actin filament and the relative
strength of the intersubunit contacts in the filament has been established from an atomic
filament model and recent three-dimensional reconstructions from electron micrographs of F-
actin filaments. Functional implications of recent structural and biochemical data indicating a
rather dynamic filament structure are discussed.
