(A) The fraction capsid P_N predicted by BD simulations and the master equation as a function of the binding energy parameter ε_b for ‘No Allostery’, for t = 10⁷t₀. Parameters for the BD simulations are as in Fig. 3, and the master equation parameters are set correspondingly (see the text in Appendix). (B) The master equation results for fraction capsid are shown as a function of the shifted binding energy ${\epsilon }_{\mathrm{b}}^{\text{eff}}$ (Eq. 7) for ‘No Allostery’ and ‘Induced Fit’ with two activation energy values (compare to the bottom panel of Fig. 4). The only adjustable parameter for the master equation in these results is the association rate constant k, which was set (by eye) to k = 0.003σ³/t₀.
