FIG. 18.
Example phase-plane trajectories and density profiles for general boundary conditions, illustrating how altering the right boundary condition changes the density profile. (a) Colored dots indicate the right boundary condition. Red curve satisfies all four boundary conditions; green, blue, and brown curves do not satisfy βR ; and the purple curve satisfies αR and βL. (b), (c) Corresponding density profiles on the R lane (b) and L lane (c). The switching rate is 0.1 s−1, bulk motor concentration c = 200 nM, and motor speed 5 μm s−1; other parameters are the reference values of Table I. Arrows in (a) indicate vector field, which has the mathematical form in (12) and (13).
