Figure 8.

Time-lapse images of MTs in a dimeric motor system, with probe MTs represented with larger arrows and their trajectories plotted in orange, green, yellow, and blue. Smaller arrows represent all the other MTs. All arrows indicate the direction of vector p, i.e., the opposite direction of motor motion, which is generally the direction of MT propulsion. The trail left by the larger arrows corresponds to the path that they have taken. In this case, E_A = 0.2 and N_m/N_f = 1. The time axis is normalized using τ. The images correspond to Movie S5.
