"At this transition state, F-actin-ATP hydrolizes into F-actin-ADP and the structure begins depolymerization. The actin polymerization process is dynamic and constantly undergoing polymerization and depolymerization, and yet it is stable and can be described as a steady-state process."

Well this is intuitively obvious that the polymerization/ depolymerization process of this biochemical reaction satisfies the requirements for a simple treatment of the kinetics instead of a more complex model. We wouldn't want things to be complex, now would we?
;-)
=) They don't tell you all you need to know is ATP turns into ADP. It goes from a Tri-phosphate molecule to a Di-phosphate molecule because it just simply loses one phosphate. They just have to make it really, really complicated. Walla...energy.
And P, I'm GOING to buy you that coffee one of these days. =)
lol. yeah, I think my definition of simple isn't the same as some other people's . . .
I know! I can't wait to taste that coffee (my expectations are really high, now. ;))
