Abstract
A new in vitro approach to study biological motility called movement o r motility assay has been developed in last ten years. The method enab ling direct observation of actin filament movement through the light m icroscope permits rather simple measurements of sliding velocity, forc e and stiffness on particular molecules. The aim of the review is to s how the main features and achievements in this area.
