Figure 7. Effects of motor velocity and rate of polymerization (r2) on multiple filament and multiple motor alignment.

Figure 7

(A) The distribution of the difference in angle between all filaments compared to filament #1. As motor velocity decreased from high (blue) to low (green), there was an intermediary velocity which caused the sharpest peak in the distribution, and thus the most alignment (red). (B) The distribution of the difference in angle between all filaments compared to filament #1. As polymerization rate increased from low (red) to high (blue), note the quick flattening of the distribution peak which suggested a phase transition dependent on the rate of polymerization.
