Simulated normal velocity maps of the membrane using different values for the polymerization velocity and noise level. Columns of the maps indicate the velocity values along the membrane for one time point. Rows indicate the velocity values for one point on the membrane over time. (A) $v_{\mathrm{p}}^{\text{max}}$ = 140 nm s⁻¹, Q = 0.3 nm s⁻¹; (B) $v_{\mathrm{p}}^{\text{max}}$ = 140 nm s⁻¹, Q = 0.25 nm s⁻¹; (C) $v_{\mathrm{p}}^{\text{max}}$ = 141 nm s⁻¹, Q = 0.3 nm s⁻¹; (D) $v_{\mathrm{p}}^{\text{max}}$ = 110 nm s⁻¹, Q = 0.3 nm s⁻¹; and (E) $v_{\mathrm{p}}^{\text{max}}$ = 110 nm s⁻¹, Q = 0.1 nm s⁻¹. All other parameters are fixed as listed in Table 1. (A–C) Defined conditions for the V-state; (D and E) conditions for the I-state.
