    - Treadmilling

    - Assembly at the plus end

    - Disassembly at the minus end

    Explanation:

    As the ATP enters into the vitro actin assembly reaction which is a steady state phase, the filament dynamics progresses into a state of equillibrium where the following happens -

    a) The monomer starts disassembling from the negative end.

    b) Polymerisation or assembling at the positive end reaches a balance which is then maintained by the ritical concentration of monomers in the cytosol

    c) The state phase involving assembly and disassembly is known as 'treadmilling'.
