| - | G-actin can be polymerized to form filamentous F-actin. It is involved in cell motility in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. It builds a ladder on which the myosin filament climbs, which in turn causes muscle contractions and other cell movements. It also maintains structure and makes up some of the cytoskeleton of the cell. It orients cellular processes based on space and time.<ref>doi:10.1146/annurev-biophys-042910-155359</ref> | + | G-actin can be polymerized to form filamentous F-actin.

The preliminary test run on a 3 number SSP provides error rate too high to be within a reasonable margin of error for SSPs with more than 10 numbers (Fig. 4). The error is a direct result of the failure of pass junctions to force 100% of F-actin to traverse in a straight path.<ref>doi:10.1073/pnas.1510825113</ref> Still, the success rate for SSPs with less than 10 variables is acceptable enough to be a viable method of parallel computation. | The preliminary test run on a 3 number SSP provides error rate too high to be within a reasonable margin of error for SSPs with more than 10 numbers (Fig. 4).
