Scaling properties of lag times with monomer concentration. (A) Scaling of the average pore formation time 〈Tlag〉 as a power law in function of the initial aerolysin concentration. (Inset) Double logarithmic plot. The fitted slope is a = 0.67 ± 0.07. (B) Linear scaling of the SD of Tlag in function of the average of 〈Tlag〉. The fitted slope b = 0.4 ± 0.01 represents the coefficient of variation (CV = SD/〈Tlag〉) of the lag times Tlag and is independent of the concentration. (C) Cumulative distributions for different aerolysin concentrations collapse after being rescaled with a concentration-dependent power law.
