Figure 7

Black circles with X and Y errorbars are the experimental data, whereas the red disks are the result of the simulations. In the simulations, it was assumed that a SSB migrates to other segments of ssDNA, when the segment approaches the SSB within a threshold radius. The simulation results were obtained using a threshold radius of 5 nm and WLC model with a persistence length of 1.5 nm for ssDNA. The unknown conversion factor between one step in the simulation and one second was determined as the value which yields the least square error between the experiments and the simulations.
