The first nine (Comp.) are simulations of unfolded flagellin being compressed in a cylinder (cyl.). The 10th simulation (Trans.) models flagellin translocation through the flagellum channel. The Equil. group of 60 simulations equilibrate flagellin segment A in cylinders of different geometries; these simulations employed an implicit solvent description.
