Figure 5.
Influence of the motor velocity v and diffusion coefficient D on the growing time T of the flagellum. (a) The growing time T as a function of diffusion coefficient D for the different motor velocities is shown. (b) The growing time T as a function of motor velocity v for the different diffusion coefficients is shown. (c) The contour plot of T as a function of both the diffusion coefficient D and motor velocity v is given. To see this figure in color, go online.
