Fig 4. Polymerases with non-functional synthetases that act as independent parasites.

L_pol = 100, L_syn = 50, k_pol = 25, h = 0, M_pol = 0 and M_syn = 0. The parasites coexist with the polymerases by forming bands around the fringes of the polymerase clusters. The colour scheme is explained in Table 1.
