Probability distribution function for the x = xfree-endxgrafted component of the end-to-end distance of contacts, for the two anisotropic cases (c and d) shown in Fig. 3. (a) A molecule on the perimeter gets pushed outwards (the center molecule is at x = −7σ). (b) The molecule at the center (x = 0)of an incomplete colony tends to occupy the space left by the missing molecule (at x = 7σ here).
