Characteristic parameters of melanosomes transport along actin filaments

Condition	A0c [nm2]	A1c [nm2]	σA1	αc	σα
Aggregation	560 ± 30	1500 ± 50	—	1.37 ± 0.03	0.27 ± 0.03
Dispersion	600 ± 30	4100 ± 1000	0.6 ± 0.2	1.33 ± 0.02	0.24 ± 0.02

The parameters were obtained by fitting the data showed in Fig. 2 with the distribution functions indicated in the legend to the figure. In the case of A₁ during dispersion, the following log-normal distribution was fitted to the data: $N=\frac{N_{\text{o}}}{A_1{\sigma }_{A_1}\sqrt{2\pi }}{e}^{-\frac{{\left(\ln (A_1/A_{1c})\right)}^2}{2{\sigma }_{A_1^2}}}$, where N is the number of events, N_o is a parameter related to the amplitude of the distribution, and, A_1c and σ_A1 are the characteristic value of A₁ and standard deviation of the lognormal distribution, respectively.
