| Mertens conjecture bounded, but did not publish a proof. In 1985, Odlyzko and te Riele proved the Mertens conjecture false. It was later shown that the first counterexample appears below exp(3.21) (Pintz 1987) but above 1014 (Kotnik and van de Lune 2004). The upper bound has since been lowered to exp(1.59) (Kotnik and te Riele 2006), but no counterexample is explicitly known. Mertens_conjecture | |

| Myofibril Myofibrils (obsolete termsarcostyles) are cylindrical organelles. They are found within muscle cells. They are bundles of actomyosin filaments that run from one end of the cell to the other and are attached to the cell surface membrane at each end. Actomyosin motors are important in muscle contraction (relying in this case on "classical myosins") as well as other processes like retraction of membrane blebs, filiopod retraction, and uropodium advancement (relying in this case on "nonclassical myosins").
