Figure 8. Examining the relationship between polymerization, motor velocity, order, and force with the continuum model.

Figure 8

(A) Contour plot for the continuum equation’s solutions show the domains of high and low order as a result of the polymerization rate (r2) and the motor velocity (v). (B) Solutions predicted from the continuum model for force and order as the rate of polymerization increases. We observed that there exists a region where two differently ordered morphologies generate the same force.
