Abstract
The actin filament bundle in the stereocilium of the cochlear hair cell has liquid transverse order, but paracrystalline axial order. A single bonding rule, which determines how a cross bridging protein links neighbouring filaments, accounts for this unusual structure. Such liquid order is possible for bundles of other filamentous proteins.Mesh:
