Turnover of myosin and F-actin lowers the real parts of eigenvalues. Dispersion relations (three branches) show eigenvalues as functions of the wave number q. Dots mark the wavenumbers of modes which are consistent with the periodicity of the ring. The growth rate λ is in s⁻¹. For κ_a = κ_m = 0.001 s⁻¹ some modes are still unstable, for higher turnover, κ_a = κ_m = 0.002 s⁻¹, all modes are stable.
