The relatively flatter shape of F-actin as compared to G-actin allows myosin to preferentially bind F-actin over G-actin. This means that F-actin is the functional form of actin composing a large part of the thin filaments that function in muscle contraction<ref name=" | The relatively flatter shape of F-actin as compared to G-actin allows myosin to preferentially bind F-actin over G-actin.
