## Abstract The spectrin‐4.1‐actin complex isolated from the cytoskeleton of human erythrocyte [3] was found to be similar to muscle F‐actin in several aspects: Both the complex and F‐actin nucleate cytochalasin‐sensitive actin polymerization; both bind dihydrocytochalasin B with similar binding co
