Brownian ratchet model from Peskin et al. (12). Diffusive fluctuations in the position of the barrier (D) open up space for insertion of an actin subunit at the end of the filament. The graph shows the dependence of the velocity on load on the barrier at 10 μM actin monomers. The continuous and dashed lines are the results using two different sets of assumptions (12).
