Spectrin promotes the association of F-actin with the cytoplasmic surface of the human erythrocyte membrane
We studied the binding of actin to the erythrocyte membrane by a novel application of falling ball viscometry. Our approach is based on the notion that if membranes have multiple binding sites for F-actin they will be able to cross-link and increase the viscosity of actin. Spectrin- and actin-deplet...
