Context-dependent reaction rules that exclude the assembly in the absence of a nucleation structure. That is, polymerization will only happen when a protein modification at site b is already present. When a non-modified protein is bound to a modified one, the modification is passed on by the second rule. These new rules would have to replace the reaction rules defined in Figure 4 to avoid the context-free assembly reaction to happen, as well.
