Fig. 4. — Normalized concentration of each component, C₅/C_total (A), (B), A/A_total (C) plotted against the inverse temperature β. (A and B) Maximum (red), minimum (green), and average (blue) over a cycle. (A) Note that the maximum value of C₅ is nearly constant, whereas its minimum and average increase with β beyond β_c (i.e., at lower temperature). (B) The average value of is fitted well by the value of the unstable fixed point of the equation (magenta line), which is proportional to exp(-β(E_p - E_dp). (C) The concentration of free KaiA in the plateau region of C₅ is plotted, as estimated from the time where C₃ reaches a peak. This free KaiA concentration closely follows exp(βE_p) (magenta line), for β > β_c—i.e., below the critical temperature.
