Effect of the concentration of r-DNAs (r-DNA1 and r-DNA2) in the feed, used to conjugate to the rigid MTs (GMPCPP-MTs) and flexible MTs (GTP-MTs), and concentration of l-DNA on the swarming of the MTs. (a) Fluorescence microscopy images of the swarms of rigid and flexible MTs with translational and circular motion respectively formed upon varying the concentrations of r-DNA1 (for red MTs) and r-DNA2 (for green MTs) in the feed. The graphs show the change in association ratio upon changing the concentration of r-DNAs (50–1,000 µM). The concentration of l-DNA was 0.6 μM. (b) Fluorescence microscopy images of the swarms of rigid MTs and flexible MTs formed by varying the concentration of l-DNA (0.001–1 µM) and their corresponding change in association ratio. The concentration of r-DNAs in the feed was 500 µM each. (rigid and flexible MTs). The images were captured after 60 min of ATP addition (a) and (b). The concentration of the r-DNA1 and r-DNA2 conjugated MTs was 0.6 μM each. The concentration of kinesin was 0.3 μM. Scale bar: 50 µm. Error bar: s.e.m.
