Figure 5.

Mean search times to find the homology sequence as a function of the characteristic length d for different DNA lengths. (Solid curves) Theoretical predictions; (symbols) Monte Carlo computer simulations. Parameters used for calculations were $m=L/2,$$u={10}^5$ s⁻¹, and $k_{\text{off}}={10}^3$ s⁻¹.
