The Isotropic to Nematic Liquid Crystalline Phase Transition of F-actin Varies from Continuous to First Order
Jorge Viamontes, Patrick W. Oakes, Jay X. Tang
We report that the properties of the isotropic to nematic liquid crystalline phase transition of F-actin depend critically on the average filament length. For average filament leng…

A continuous isotropic-nematic liquid crystalline transition of F-actin solutions
Jorge Viamontes, Jay X. Tang
The phase transition from the isotropic (I) to nematic (N) liquid crystalline suspension of F-actin of average length m or above was studied by local measurements of optical b…
