Figure 8

A simplified model for actin treadmilling. Presented in red are the loop-to-loop contacts at the pointed end between the DNase I binding loop and the hydrophobic plug. The thickness of the arrows at each end of the filament are proportional to the polymerization and depolymerization rates which are used in the simulation with r=0.1 (Figure 9).
