Figure 9. State diagram of FA dynamics for stress-control (see Appendix).

Figure 9

The strains used were Inline graphic, Inline graphic, with other parameters are as in Fig. 4, with which this state diagram could be compared. The main effect of stress-control on FA dynamics is that the symmetric growth mode is strongly favored over most low stress values, as seen by the growth of Inline graphic. However, the Treadmilling Mode does hold over a narrow range for Inline graphic kPa, which compares well with the stress of Inline graphic kPa reported by Balaban and co-workers [4]. The Treadmilling Mode gets suppressed for less polarized strains Inline graphic relative to Inline graphic.
