A. Time-lapse fluorescence micrographs of an E. coli cell synthesizing a green fluorescent protein fusion to MinD, along with extra MinE, showing one full oscillation cycle.
B. Distribution of membrane-bound MinD (blue dots) and MinE (red) obtained from a stochastic simulation. Dots represent individual molecules.
C. Concentration of MinD (blue, lower half) and MinE (red, upper half) obtained from a deterministic analysis. The concentration is colour-coded, with darker colours signifying larger concentrations. B and C were modified from Fange and Elf (2006).
