Figure 3.

Comparison with experimental data. Orange circles show the measurements for the (a) run length, (b) dwell time, (c) velocity, and (d) landing rate of kinesin motors as measured by Telley et al. (18). In blue, we show the fit of our model to this data. Lines are results of our mean field theory, and squares compare these calculations with simulations based on Gillespie’s algorithm. Green diamonds show data for a model in which motors can temporarily switch to an inactive state (see the main text). To see this figure in color, go online.
