Fig 1. Contour plots of maximum assembly size and assembly time over the space of rate parameters.

Fig 1

(A) Contour plot of the average maximum assembly size for 54 rate parameter grid points and 16 RNA effect combinations (red dots). The colorbar shows average maximum assembly size. A completed CCMV capsid consists of 90 subunits. (B) Contour plot of the average time to reach a maximum assembly size for a simulation over the same grid points and effect combinations. The colorbar shows time in seconds. The four-digit binary codes for simulations are as explained in Table 1, with a zero in each bit corresponding to absence of a given RNA effect and a one in that bit to presence of the corresponding effect. The first digit represents RNA-RNA, the second Compression, the third RNA-protein, and the fourth Concentration.
