The molecular architecture of vimentin filaments

2021-07-16

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Intermediate filaments are integral components of the cytoskeleton in metazoan cells. Due to their specific viscoelastic properties they are principal contributors to flexibility and tear strength of cells and tissues. Vimentin, an intermediate filament protein expressed in fibroblasts and endothelial cells, assembles into ~11 nm thick biopolymers, that are involved in a wide variety of cellular...
