T1 direct assembly. a) and b) show the relative population of different cluster sizes as a function of time for a favorable (k_a=5.0 ns⁻¹, k_d=13.5·10⁻³ ns⁻¹) and a unfavorable (k_a=8.0 ns⁻¹, k_d=1.5·10⁻³ ns⁻¹) set of parameters, respectively. The average cluster size is shown as solid line. In the inset the monomer population ν₁(t)is shown as a function of time. c) Parameter space analysis of direct assembly. Relative yield (left) and relative assembly speed (right) are depicted using a heat-map representation for various combinations of k_aand k_d. All data are obtained from 40 independent simulation runs.
