Profilin, a ubiquitous 12 to 15-kDa protein, serves many functions, including sequestering monomeric actin, accelerating nucleotide exchange on actin monomers, decreasing the critical concentration of the barbed end of actin filaments, and promoting actin polymerization when barbed ends are free.

We report on how physiological concentrations of capping protein shorten actin filaments and on the remarkably fluid nature of solutions of such short filaments even at the high concentrations that exist in cells. We measured the lengths of actin filaments formed by spontaneous polymerization of hig
