    "abstract": "We present a novel method to investigate the dynamics of a single\nsemiflexible polymer, subject to anisotropic friction in a viscous fluid. In\ncontrast to previous approaches, we do not rely on a discrete bead-rod model,\nbut introduce a suitable normal mode decomposition of a continuous space curve.\nBy means of a perturbation expansion for stiff filaments we derive a closed set\nof coupled Langevin equations in mode space for the nonlinear dynamics in two\ndimensions, taking into account exactly the local constraint of\ninextensibility. The stochastic differential equations obtained this way are\nsolved numerically, with parameters adjusted to describe the motion of actin\nfilaments. As an example, we show results for the tumbling motion in shear\nflow.",
