Table 4. MTOC velocity in a motor gradient.

The mean instantaneous velocity (<v> ± s.d.) with increasing motor density was calculated from 20 min simulation time and compared to experiment.

Total no. of motors (Nmi) <v> (10−3 μm/s)
f0 = 2 pN f0 = 7 pN
102 4.3 ± 6.3 4.8 ± 4.5
103 4.8 ± 4.6 5.4 ± 5.7
104 5.4 ± 5.7 5.4 ± 5.7
Experiment 8.7 ± 6.0
