For each chamber (Ch 1 to 6), randomly selected 18 fields of view (31 × 31 μm2) were examined for 12 s at 2 mM ATP. Some beads stopped or started rotation during the observation period, and these were counted as rotating. Fluctuating and stuck duplexes were distinguished by eye. Higher aggregates and singles were counted as such irrespective of whether moving or not. Without TF1, 13 beads were found per chamber.
